Houston Roughnecks at Memphis Showboats Preview & Picks

Houston are tipped to cover as they win their final regular season game.

Both teams have been in miserable form, but the Roughnecks have managed to make their recent opponents earn the win.

  • Houston Roughnecks have allowed 64 points less than Memphis
  • Memphis Showboats have a points margin of -12.1 points per game
  • The two teams allow a combined 54.7 points per game

Head To Head

  • Memphis Showboats lead the all-time series 2-1
  • Memphis Showboats won 18-12 when the two teams last met on March 31

Houston Roughnecks Form

Houston go into their final game of the regular season having won only one of their nine games so far.

The Roughnecks opened up with an 18-12 defeat to Memphis, before going out on the road to lose 23-18 in DC and 34-20 at Michigan.

They finally registered their first win in Week 4, beating Arlington 17-9, but they have not recorded a single victory since then.

Houston returned to losing ways with a 32-9 blowout loss to Birmingham, and then fell 22-8 at St Louis and 15-12 at home to St Louis.

The Roughnecks’ skid continued with a 35-28 loss in Birmingham, and then reached five games last weekend as they were beaten 26-22 at home by Michigan. 

Memphis Showboats Form

Memphis go into their last game of the 2024 regular season riding a league-worst eight-game losing run.

The Showboats opened the season with an 18-12 victory on the road in Houston, but they have not managed to win since then.

A late collapse condemned them to a 20-19 defeat when they hosted San Antonio, and they then went out on the road to lose 33-14 in Birmingham and 32-17 at St Louis.

Memphis then returned home to lose 35-18 to Michigan and 39-21 to Birmingham, before going back out on the road to lose 47-23 in Arlington and 24-18 at Michigan.

The Showboats’ losing skid then reached eight games last weekend, as they were beaten 36-21 by the DC Defenders.

Verdict

Two bad teams have an incentive to win this game in the form of the number one pick in the draft.

Houston have shown a few more reasons to be optimistic about their chances, so we are backing them to take advantage of a terrible Showboats defense.
