New Jersey Generals vs Pittsburgh Maulers Preview

The New Jersey Generals have battled their way to a 2-1 overall record with a unique two-quarterback system and a dominant rushing game. They are currently averaging 200 rushing yards per game, the most in the entire USFL so far this season.

The Generals utilized quarterback Luis Perez as a pocket passer while taking advantage of De'Andre Johnson's athletic ability and using him as a scrambling quarterback. The system has worked for them so far, and they will look to keep it rolling against the struggling Maulers.

The Pittsburgh Maulers are still looking for their first win of the 2022 USFL season as they enter Week 4 against the Generals. They struggled severely in Week 3 against the Michigan Panthers, having been shut out in a blow-out loss. They will be hoping to change their fortunes with quarterback Kyle Lauletta trying to find his rhythm.

New Jersey Generals vs Pittsburgh Maulers Prediction

The New Jersey Generals do most of their damage in the rushing attack, where they have been the best in the league so far at running the ball. That could be a major problem for the Pittsburgh Maulers, who were unable to slow down the Michigan Panthers' rushing attack last week.

The Maulers surrendered 245 rushing yards to the Panthers in their Week 3 match-up, and the Generals present an even more challenging task this week. If the Generals are able to run the ball as they have throughout the first three weeks of the season, it's unlikely the Maulers will find their first win this week.

Prediction: Generals 23, Maulers 13
