- The Under has cashed in 1 of Houston’s 2 games so far
- The two teams are averaging a combined 30.5 points per game
- Michigan are 1-1 after their first 2 games of the season

- Michigan Panthers won 29-13 when the two teams last met in April 2023
Houston Roughnecks Form
Houston head back out on the road still seeking their first win of the season after falling short in DC.
The Roughnecks entered the season as one of the least likely teams to go all the way and win the inaugural UFL title.
They have, unfortunately for them, lived up to that billing through the first two weeks of the regular season.
Houston opened up at home and struggled massively on offense as they were beaten 18-12 by Memphis.
The Roughnecks then fell to 0-2 last weekend, as they repeatedly shot themselves in the foot in a 23-18 defeat at DC.
Michigan Panthers Form
Michigan head into their third straight home game looking to improve to 2-1 before they head out on the road for the following two weeks.
Like their visitors, the Panthers were not considered a major contender for the UFL Championship heading into the new season.
They got off to the best possible start though, as they stunned St Louis thanks to a 64-yard field goal from Jake Bates with less than a minute to go.
Michigan’s kicker also showed off his massive leg in Week 2, but this time it proved to be in vain.
The Panthers were far from disgraced though, as they were beaten 20-13 by the back-to-back USFL champion Birmingham Stallions.
