Birmingham Stallions at Houston Roughnecks Preview & Picks

Birmingham are tipped to cover as they make it three wins in a row.

This Stallions defense is capable of dominating a bad Houston offense, while on the opposite side of the football the offense can put up enough points to get the win and cover.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham head to Houston having kick-started their title defence with wins in their last two games.

The Stallions won back-to-back USFL titles before claiming the inaugural UFL crown last year, but they made a rough start to their quest for a fourth consecutive spring crown.

They opened up on the road in DC and suffered a surprise 18-11 defeat to a Defenders team that lost their head coach just days before the game.

Birmingham bounced back a week later though, as they travelled to Detroit to take down the Michigan Panthers, 21-12.

The Stallions then backed up that victory in their home opener, edging past Arlington last week, 10-9.

Houston Roughnecks Form

Houston go into this game looking to build on last weekend’s victory and win back-to-back UFL games for the first time.

The Roughnecks managed just one win during the 2024 campaign, ending the season on a six-game losing skid.

That losing run continued during the first two weeks of the 2025 season, as they dropped back-to-back games to start the year.

Houston were blown out in their opener at home, losing 31-6 to St Louis, and then fell to an 11-9 defeat when they visited Arlington.

The Roughnecks did get off the mark last weekend though, as they beat the Showboats in Memphis, 18-17.

Verdict

Houston may have got their first win a week ago, but we do not expect them to build on it.

Birmingham have steadied the ship since that shock opening-day defeat, and we expect them to make it three-in-a-row.
