Betting on Week 1 of the AAF is a once in a lifetime opportunity - here are our best bets for the new league

While the Legends were cut short by the premature departure of Brad Childress, the San Diego Fleet lost quarterback Josh Johnson, who was likely to be one of the most talented quarterbacks in the league, to the NFL after he took over for the Redskins amid a slew of injuries.

With the Fleet working to replace the most important position on the field, I'm backing the San Antonio Commanders to win in their debut.

Christian Hackenberg is back playing meaningful football.

After flaming out in the NFL, Hackenberg has found a home with the Memphis Express, leading to one of the most intriguing storylines the league has to offer — could the AAF offer players an opportunity to prove they're still NFL-ready?

Both Hackenberg and Iron running back Trent Richardson will likely be looking to do so, but in this game, we're taking the points.

This team hasn't even played a game together yet but they've already embraced the defensive family photo. Shut up and take my money!
