• The Panthers won the inaugural USFL Championship in 1983

Prediction

Inside the dome in Detroit, Michigan should be able to do what they want, rushing and passing. San Antonio has allowed 173.5 rushing yards per game and seven rushing TDs while scoring just 18 points in its first two games. The Panthers know they have another winnable game up next week vs the Memphis Showboats here at Ford Field, so a win here may set the stage for a 3-1 start.

Remember, the last three Michigan losses all came at the hands of Birmingham, so facing a porous Brahmas team at home here seems like a double-digit win for the hosts. Michigan will have the better defense and more to lose here, so expect the Panthers to try to establish the run early on on the FieldTurf.

Final Pick

Panthers -6.5
