St Louis Battlehawks at Michigan Panthers Preview & Picks

St Louis are tipped to win by at least a touchdown on the road.

AJ McCarron is back and he is surrounded by weapons, and they Battlehawks can set a scoring pace that Michigan cannot match.

  • St Louis Battlehawks are 7-3 in their last 10 regular season games
  • St Louis Battlehawks went 7-3-0 ATS in 2023
  • Michigan Panthers are 6-14 in their last 20 regular season games
  • St Louis Battlehawks out-scored Michigan Panthers by 7.8 points per game last season

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

St Louis Battlehawks Form

St Louis missed out on the XFL playoffs last season despite compiling the third best record in the entire league.

The Battlehawks went 7-3 in the 2023 regular season, but they lost the head-to-head with Seattle in a tough North Division to miss out.

They opened the 2023 campaign with back-to-back road wins, and during the first eight games of the season their only defeats came against a dominant DC Defenders team.

However, St Louis’ most costly defeat came in Week 9 when they hosted Seattle in a massive matchup.

The Battlehawks were beaten 30-12 by the Sea Dragons, rendering their 53-28 blowout of Orlando in Week 10 nothing more than consolation.

Michigan Panthers Form

Michigan enter the new season having made the USFL playoffs a year ago despite posting a losing record.

The Panthers managed just two wins during their debut season in 2022, and doubled that win total in 2023.

They went 4-6 to finish level with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the North Division, with their two wins over the latter earning them a postseason berth via the head-to-head.

That meant Michigan would face Pittsburgh in the North Division Final – a team that swept them during the regular season.

The Panthers came up short again against the Maulers, losing 31-27 in overtime to miss out on a place in the USFL Championship Game.

Verdict

St Louis return with a talented roster headlined by an experience QB and a beast at wide receiver.

The Battlehawks offense will be hard to handle this year, and we expect them to lay down an early marker.
