After cementing itself as the betting favorites all season, the Birmingham Stallions picked up their third consecutive title in the inaugural UFL championship meeting.
Wrapping up the season 10-1, the finals was a rematch between the Stallions and the only team to beat them this year -- the Brahmas.
San Antonio holding Birmingham to nine points in Week 9 must've been a fluke. Once the title matchup rolled around, there was no competition with the Stallions easily edging the 25-0 victory.

Who is favored to win the 2024 UFL Championship?
It's no surprise the Stallions are favored to continue their modern-era dynasty, focused to grab their third-straight championship. Over the last two seasons, Birmingham has dropped just four games.
In Week 9, the Stallions were finally handed their first loss of the season, 18-9, courtesy of the Brahmas -- the team they're forced to play with the title at stake.
Birmingham's ground attack has been unstoppable, averaging a league-high 134.4 YPG. The success is led by QB Adrian Martinez, 428 RYDS (ranked first), and Ricky Person Jr, 6 RTDS (ranked first).
The Stallions defense is also worth bragging about, allowing the second-fewest 163 points this season -- falling second to San Antonio's defense (147).
san antonio brahmas (+145)
Carrying +500 odds to win the UFL championship ahead of the playoffs, the Brahmas have jumped to be +145 contenders to win the final game of the year.
Birmingham couldn't even hit the double-digit mark on the scoreboard against this team, making it their worst performance of the season. San Antonio puts plenty of pressure on its opponents, collecting a league-high 32 sacks and allowing the fewest passing yards (168.2). The Brahmas sacked Martinez a trio of times in their sole meeting this year.
Thinking defense wins championships? Taking a stab at this plus-money pick is worth it for me. All the momentum and experience is favoring San Antonio.
