1983 USFL WEEK 1
The Oakland Invaders stole the show in the new league with a convincing win over the Wranglers. George Allen's Chicago Blitz defense looked strong...or was it that the Federals of Washington are that weak on offense? Time will tell.
*Tampa Bay Bandits 17 Boston Breakers 13
*Chicago Blitz 21 Washington Federals 3
*L. A. Express 22 New Jersey Generals 16
*Oakland Invaders 34 Arizona Wranglers 14
*Philadelphia Stars 19 Denver Gold 6
*Michigan Panthers 17 Birmingham Stallions 16 |

Week 2 Schedule
Chicago at Arizone....Can George Allen and the Blitz get to 2-0?
Michigan at Tampa Bay...Good matchup between two playoff contenders it would appear.
Birmingham at Oakland....a home win by Invaders would get them to a 2-0 great start
Boston st Denver....loser of this matchup is 0-2 so a big game for both squads
New Jersey at Philadelphia....this looks like a mismatch...knowing what we know now.
Washington at Los Angeles....appears to be an excellent chance for Express to be 2-0 |
