Michigan Panthers Form

Michigan clinched their place in the playoffs by putting together a 6-4 regular season record to finish second in the USFL Conference.

The Panthers enjoyed a winning start to the season as they beat Memphis on the road, 26-12, only to lose 21-12 in their home opener against Birmingham a week later.

They rebounded from that by beating San Antonio 26-23 and Memphis 27-9, but failed to make it three-in-a-row as they fell 32-27 in St Louis.

Michigan rallied though, and embarked on a three-game win streak as they took down DC at home, 38-14, before heading out on the road to beat Arlington 25-24 and Houston 30-18.

That proved to be enough for a Panthers team that then closed out the regular season with back-to-back defeats, losing 26-22 in Birmingham and 19-12 at home to Houston.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham ensured another trip to the postseason as they compiled a 7-3 record to finish top of the USFL Conference standings.

The defending champion Stallions lost their opening game of the season, 18-11 in DC, but quickly got on track.

They beat Michigan 21-12 on the road to get off the mark, and backed that up with a 10-9 win at home to Arlington and a 23-17 success in Houston.

Birmingham failed to make it four-in-a-row as they suffered a shock 24-20 loss to Memphis, but they again rebounded quickly from a setback as they beat San Antonio 26-3 and Houston 33-25.

The Stallions then lost 29-28 in St Louis, only to close out the regular season by beating Michigan 26-22 at home and Memphis 46-9 on the road.

Verdict

Birmingham have won three straight spring titles, and although they have shown some vulnerabilities this season, it feels foolish to bet against them in the 2025 playoffs.

Therefore we are backing the Stallions to secure a return to the UFL Championship Game.
