USFL/WFL Season 33 started with many teams having a realistic shot of reaching the World Bowl and as the season went along, we whittled it down to 14 teams making the playoffs. There are still some teams out there, watching this game that feel their team should/could be here, and while I probably agree with you, the reality is there can be only one team from each conference.

Oklahoma and Pittsburgh won the right to be in the 33rd World Bowl, with both teams having to win on the road in the Conference Championships. This is a rematch of World Bowl XXIX, which Pittsburgh won 31-10.

You guys are probably sick of my use of the term coin flip game but that's exactly what this is. Both teams have top 5 offenses and defenses and had to beat 3 tough teams just to advance this far. I see no real edge for either team other than I feel it's more likely Patrick Howard has a big game than Arthur Reina, though nothing is out of the realm of possibility in this game.
