Birm -7 over/under 36?

I like the over again. Not sure what to expect from Stars O in this?

Must be headed to the over. Philly scores a major on a 58 yard four play drive. Paul Terry with the rushing TD. 14-7 Stars.

Fun, fast paced game so far. Too bad it's looking like the least attended Stallions home game, sub-10k most likely.

I would imagine the 11a local start on their first Sunday game doesn't help, two weeks from now (1p) should be better on that front

Yeah, 11 a.m. in the Bible Belt on a Sunday is a sure way NOT to get fans in the stands. Why they chose that time for their most-attended team, I have no idea.

I thought there would be more fans in the stands as the Stallions have been winning. They have not appeared yet.

Stallions pass rush is coming alive now... stemming the Stars offense.

Yes, definitely too early of a game. Probably a bad choice.
