Birmingham Stallions at Michigan Panthers Preview & Picks

Michigan are tipped to take down defending UFL champions Birmingham.

The Panthers have playmakers on both sides of the football, while the Stallions’ offensive line is a mess and could be their undoing in their quest for a fourth straight spring crown.

  • Michigan Panthers are 1-0-0 ATS after their opening game
  • Birmingham Stallions are 0-1 heading into Week 2
  • The Under cashed in Birmingham’s opening game
  • The Under hit in both regular season meetings in 2024

Head To Head

  • Birmingham Stallions lead the all-time series 5-0
  • Birmingham Stallions won 31-18 when the two teams last met in June 2024

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham head to the Motor City looking to rebound from a shocking start to the season.

The Stallions have dominated spring football over the previous three years, winning two USFL titles and the first ever UFL crown.

However, their defence of the UFL championship got off to a rough start last week as they failed to beat a DC Defenders team that lost its head coach just days before the game.

Birmingham managed just 89 yards through the air as the offensive line gave up eight sacks for 73 yards.

That resulted in an 18-11 defeat for the Stallions, who now head out on the road for the second weekend running.

Michigan Panthers Form

Michigan go into their home opener looking to maintain a perfect record and finally beat Birmingham.

The Panthers are 0-5 all-time against the Stallions, dating back to the return of the USFL in 2022, and that run includes a playoff defeat when the two teams met last season.

They go into this latest meeting with plenty of confidence though, having opened the 2025 UFL campaign with a win.

Michigan were handed a road trip to kick things off, but they got the job done as the won 26-12 in Memphis.

The Nacua brothers played key roles in the victory, as Kai returned an interception 80 yards for a touchdown and Samson caught a 25-yard touchdown pass.

Verdict

Abandoning Birmingham this quickly appears risky, but we cannot ignore just how bad that offensive line was a week ago.

Until they fix that the Stallions are going to have serious issues, so we are backing Michigan to finally get the better of them here.
