USFL Schedule 2022 – Playoffs Semifinals

We are now in postseason mode and this weekend sees the playoff semifinals. Two games to determine who will meet for the title of USFL champion in 2022.

All games are available via TV and streaming. Here are the kickoff times, spreads, channels and tune-in details:

Saturday June 25

• Philadelphia Stars (+4.5) vs New Jersey Generals (-4.5) (3pm ET – FOX)
• New Orleans Breakers (+5) vs Birmingham Stallions (-5) (8pm ET – NBC)

USFL Predictions – Playoffs Semifinals

Last weekend New Jersey literally crept past Philadelphia to close out its regular-season record at 9-1.

The line for that game saw the Generals a 2.5 point favorite – they barely covered. Yet they go into this playoff semifinal on Saturday giving up 4.5. Go figure.

The Generals and the Stallions have absolutely been coming back to the rest of the pack in recent weeks, maybe not in terms of overall record but certainly in terms of the margin of victory.

Take Philly to at the very least keep it close again in what should be a terrific matchup on FOX.
