BREAKDOWNHOUSTONHouston finally makes their 1st XFL Title game after losing their first 4 AXC Conference Championship games dating back all the way to the first season of the XFL. The majority of Houston's success has come in the past 8 seasons where they played in 4 AXC Conference Championship games.
One interesting dynamic to this game is that the Houston owner P. Snowflake use to own the Oakland Outlaws (2018-2023) before becoming the owner of Houston in 2030. Oakland won XFL II & XFL IV under his tenure there so if Houston wins it all this season, P. Snowflake will become the first owner to win XFL Titles with 2 different francises.
ATLANTAIn the Million dollar game, the million dollar question is: Can anyone beat Atlanta in the postseason? They have won 19 straight postseason games to include 5 straight XFL Championship games as you have to go back to 2040 where the Washington Warriors traveled to Atlanta in the Wildcard round and beat Atlanta 31-13.
Overall, Atlanta is 7-1 in the Title game which is an XFL record for Championships and this is their 9th XFL Championship game appearance which ties Buffalo for 2nd most Title game appearances as they trail just Dakota who has 11.
Can Houston finally end Atlanta's historic run? Can Houston finally put a stake through the heart of the Dominators? Or will Atlanta who switched ownership mid-season continue to Dominate the XFL?
