Michigan Panthers Form

Michigan booked their place in the USFL Conference Championship Game by compiling a 7-3 regular season record.

The Panthers split their first four games of the season, but sealed their place in the playoffs by embarking on a five-game win streak.

That run started with a 35-18 win in Memphis that was followed by a 28-27 victory over Arlington and a 22-9 success at the DC Defenders.

Michigan’s streak then reached five games as they backed up a 24-18 victory over Memphis with a 26-22 win in Houston.

The Panthers failed to wrap up the regular season with a win though, missing a last-gasp field goal as they were beaten 20-19 at playoff opponents Birmingham.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham missed out on a perfect regular season, but their 9-1 record was the best record in the inaugural UFL season.

The Stallions opened up on the road with a 27-14 win in Arlington and a 20-13 victory at Memphis, and then downed Memphis 33-14 in their home opener.

They kept the wins coming as they beat DC 20-18, before heading back out on the road to win 32-9 in Houston and 39-21 at Memphis.

Birmingham then took their streak to eight games with home victories over St Louis, 30-26, and Houston, 35-28, but their bid for perfection was ended in Week 9 by an 18-9 loss in San Antonio.

The Stallions rebounded in their regular season finale however, beating Michigan 20-19 in a dress rehearsal for this game.

Verdict

Birmingham are the UFL’s best team, but when it comes to spread bets they have been unreliable.

Michigan are covering more consistently and have twice run the Stallions close this season, so give us the Panthers and the points.
