Memphis Showboats at Michigan Panthers Preview & Picks

Michigan are tipped to cover as they repeat their Week 1 win over Memphis.

The Panthers have rebounded from the loss to Birmingham, and they should have too much for a Showboats team who are winless and yet to break the 20-point barrier in a game.

  • Michigan Panthers are 3-0 in the last 3 meetings
  • Michigan Panthers are 3-0-0 ATS in the last 3 meetings
  • Memphis Showboats are 0-3 so far this season
  • The 3 previous meetings have produced over 35.5 total points

Head To Head

  • Michigan Panthers lead the all-time series 3-1
  • Michigan Panthers won 26-12 when the two teams last met on March 30

Memphis Showboats Form

Memphis head to Detroit in desperate need of a victory, having lost their first three games of the season.

The Showboats went just 2-8 in 2024, so it is no real surprise to see them struggling at this early stage in the season.

They opened up the campaign at home to Michigan and suffered a 26-12 defeat at the hands of the Panthers.

Memphis then travelled to the nation’s capital, and despite an improved display defensively they were beaten 17-12 by the DC Defenders.

The Panthers held Houston under 20 points too, but that was not enough to prevent them from suffering a third defeat of the season, as they were beaten 18-17 last week.

Michigan Panthers Form

Michigan go into their third straight home game having rebounded from a defeat to improve to 2-1.

The Panthers made it to the postseason a year ago, and entered the new campaign as one of the leading contenders to make the playoffs once again.

They got off to a strong start as they visited Memphis and took down the Showboats in their season-opener, 26-12.

Michigan failed to back that up in their home opener as they were beaten 21-12 by defending champions Birmingham, but they issued an immediate response.

The Panthers played host to San Antonio last weekend and ran out 26-23 winners against the Brahmas.

Verdict

One of these teams has playoff ambitions, while the other is struggling for the second season in a row.

Michigan are, quite simply, the better team, and we expect them to win and cover against Memphis yet again.
