Michigan Panthers Form
Michigan endured a miserable 2022 regular season campaign as they won just two of their 10 games.
The Panthers opened with back-to-back defeats, with one coming against Sunday’s opponents Houston.
They finally got off the mark with a 24-0 shutout win against Pittsburgh, only to lose their next six games to plummet out of the playoff race.
Michigan did wrap up the regular season with a win though, beating the Maulers again, this time 33-21.
The Panthers have made a change at head coach in the offseason, with Mike Nolan replacing Jeff Fisher.
Houston Gamblers Form
Houston never featured in the 2022 playoff race as they went 3-7 to finish bottom of the division.
The Gamblers beat Michigan 17-12 in their season opener, but they failed to build on that over the next several weeks.
They lost seven straight games as they repeatedly found ways to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
Houston did at least finish on a high though, following up a 17-15 upset of Birmingham with a 20-3 victory over New Orleans.
The Gamblers have also made a change at head coach, replacing Kevin Sumlin with Curtis Johnson.
