Michigan Panthers vs Birmingham Stallions USFL Division Championship Preview

The USFL Division Championship is going to see a rematch of last week’s meeting between Michigan and Birmingham. Last week Michigan nearly won the game on a last moment 53-yard field goal but the kick was just wide right. The final score was 19-20 Birmingham although Michigan had significantly more total yards with 324 to Birmingham’s 223. The USFL Championship is poised to be a good one.

Writer’s Pick: 71% Birmingham

SAN ANTONIO BRAHMAS (7-3) VS ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS (7-3)

XFL Conference Championship | Sunday, June 9 | 7:00PM ET | St. Louis, MO | The Dome at America’s Center | FOX | FOX Sports on SiriusXM

XFL Conference Championship Game Preview: Brahmas Look to Overcome Battlehawks by Aaron Sauter

San Antonio and St. Louis met last week in St. Louis which St. Louis won by a close score of 13-12 which secured them home-field advantage for the XFL Division Championship. San Antonio limited St. Loui to just 199 total yards last week to their 272. It was a game in which Battlehawks A.J. McCarron had a surprisingly low amount of production as he was held to just 115 yards and a touchdown with 1 interception in his first game back after missing 2 games due to injury.

The Battlehawks are poised to play in their first franchise playoff game which will be in front of their own fans. The atmosphere is going to be pandemonium.

Writer’s Pick: 100% St. Louis
