Michigan Panthers at Memphis Showboats Preview & Picks

Michigan are tipped to cover as they open the season with a win.

The Panthers were one of the better teams in the UFL last season, and they can take advantage of a Memphis team that will be reeling from the sudden exit of their head coach.

  • Michigan Panthers went 7-3 in the 2024 regular season
  • Michigan Panthers went 2-0 against Michigan last season
  • Memphis Showboats went 2-8 last season
  • Both meetings last season produced over 38.0 total points

Head To Head

  • Michigan Panthers lead the all-time series 2-1
  • Michigan Panthers won 24-18 when the two teams last met in May 2024

Michigan Panthers Form

Michigan go into the new campaign looking to make another challenge for the UFL Championship.

The Panthers were on of the premier teams during the inaugural season of the United Football League.

They made a mixed start by splitting their first four games, only to roar into life with a five-game win streak that helped them to a 7-3 record and a place in the postseason.

Michigan’s quest for glory ultimately ended in disappointment though, as they were beaten in the USFL Conference Championship.

The Panthers were beaten 31-18 by Birmingham, who went on to win their third consecutive spring football championship.

Memphis Showboats Form

Memphis enter the new season looking to improve on a rough debut campaign in the UFL that saw them beat only one team and win just two games all year.

The Showboats kicked off the season with an 18-12 victory at Houston, but it was all downhill from there.

They lost eight consecutive games before finally stopping the rot in the final game of the regular season.

Memphis finished the campaign just like they started it, beating Houston in another low-scoring game that finished 19-12.

The Showboats will look to fare better this time around, but their preparations suffered a stunning setback this week when head coach Ken Whisenhut quit on the eve of the new season.

Verdict

One team has ambitions of winning a championship, while the other is in disarray after late pre-season drama.

This is Michigan’s game to lose, and we expect the Panthers to deliver in their season-opener.
