The San Antonio Brahmas and St. Louis Battlehawks know each other intimately after battling just a few weeks ago in their Week 10 regular season finale. Now they meet again, this time with the XFL Conference Championship on the line in St. Louis this Sunday.

In that Week 10 showdown, the Battlehawks survived 13-12 after a tipped San Antonio field goal attempt missed in the final seconds. It was a chess match between two coaching masterminds – San Antonio’s Hines Ward and St. Louis’ Anthony Becht – that came down to the final play.

You can expect another hard-fought, strategy-filled affair in this rematch. Ward and the Brahmas boast the UFL’s second-ranked rushing attack led by bruising back John Lovett, who can pound away for four quarters. They’ll look to control clock and limit possessions for St. Louis’ high-powered air raid.

Becht’s Battlehawks counter with pro-style precision from QB AJ McCarron and a bevy of weapons led by star receiver Hakeem Butler. If they can capitalize on their opportunities, St. Louis has the firepower to run away with it.

These teams know all the other’s ten tendencies after facing off recently. It will come down to which coach can make the pivotal adjustment and push the right buttons in crunch time. With seasons on the line, the chess match between Ward and Becht could be must-see drama.

The winner advances to the UFL Championship Game in a bout worthy of deciding which brilliant coaching mind advances. Get ready for a heavyweight fight in St. Louis.
