UFL News:
The Michigan Panthers will open their home schedule under the primetime spotlight, hosting the Birmingham Stallions in FOX UFL Friday action. Brothers Kai and Samson Nacua created UFL history last weekend, becoming the first siblings to score touchdowns in the same game while suiting up together for the Michigan Panthers. The Stallions will look to avoid their first-ever 0-2 start in franchise history after falling to the D.C. Defenders in their season opener. Defensively, the Panthers will look to pressure McGough after he was sacked eight times last week by the Defenders.
As the UFL standings begin to take shape in Week 2, this matchup could prove pivotal in establishing early momentum in the USFL Conference race. Fans should keep a close eye on UFL scores throughout the weekend as teams look to improve their positioning in what promises to be a competitive season. What are your predictions for tonight’s game – will the Stallions bounce back from their opening loss, or will the Panthers defend their home turf and improve to 2-0 in the UFL betting odds?
