Sliding Stallions: The Birmingham Stallions were once the team to beat, three-peating in 2022, 2023 and 2024 for the spring football title. But the tide has turned, and now they’re fifth on the championship oddsboard after moving to +1400 from +800. And speaking of the tide, former Alabama QB AJ McCarron is in his first year leading Birmingham as its head coach. Under his watch, the Stallions sit at 1-3 and are currently at the bottom of the UFL standings. Their lone win was a 15-13 victory over the Kings in Week 1.
