Not to spread any unfounded rumors, but I've noticed a certain trend when it comes to the Houston Roughnecks taking on the San Antonio Brahmas - it's usually a game of inches, and let's be honest, no one's particularly good at measuring with an unaided eye.
The Roughnecks and Brahmas last matched wits in 2024 with the latter scraping by with a whisker-thin victory. It was like watching two tortoises race - not a pretty sight, but you just can't look away.
In terms of season records, our battling duo doesn’t quite set the field ablaze with their one-all draw reminiscent of a schoolyard squabble. Recent outings see Houston and San Antonio seemingly play hot potato with a win, but more often than not, pass the victory baton to their opponents. Someone needs to tell these guys it's not a relay race.
In the all-important league rendezvous, the Roughnecks find themselves parked in spot #3 in the USFL, while the Brahmas are locked in an eternal tango with position #4 in the XFL. Brahmas, the bell-bottoms of the league, yet somehow they manage to stir up the pot.
All eyes point towards the Brahmas, the fresher of these two old grannies, to pull off the victory when faced with the choice of picking a house to bet on. And you know what they say, the house always wins.
The Brahmas will take it, but expect them to huff and puff their way to it, clinching the win by a spare couple of points.
