Summary
The Gamblers are coming off a very gut wrenching loss and will want to rebound against the Breakers who themselves are coming off a very impressive win. If the Gamblers want to win this game it starts with their offense and being able to score on the stifling Breakers defense. This game will have a ton of New Orleans ties believe it or not. Curtis Johnson, Head Coach of the Gamblers, was the WRs coach for the New Orleans Saints twice over from 2006-2011, 2017-2021, and he was also the Head Coach at Tulane (located in New Orleans) from 2012-2015. The Gamblers run a very similar offensive system to that of the Saints so it will be a very fun matchup this weekend.
