Since losing the inaugural game of the USFL season to the Stallions, the New Jersey Generals have been on a tear. They’ve won nine straight games, most recently against their playoff opponent Saturday, the Philadelphia Stars.
The road to the postseason for the Stars has been significantly bumpier. They’re now 6-4 on the season, and quarterback Case Cookus has seen ups and downs under center. The Stars have been involved in plenty of shootouts this season, but their 0-4 record against teams over .500 this year hardly inspires confidence.
Two of those losses came against the Generals, once in Week 3 and once in Week 10. The Stars will need to shake off those demons to advance to the championship.

For the Generals, Luis Perez has been impressive in recent weeks. Has has four touchdowns and no picks over his last two games, and he’ll look to continue that consistency in the postseason. Darius Victor also led the league in rushing touchdowns, and expect a heavy dose of him as he builds on that momentum.
The Stars have been powered by a bend-don’t-break defensive approach that has served them well. While they may give up points, they also have the league’s interception leader in Channing Stribling at seven. Expect to see Stribling matched up often with KaVontae Turpin.
