This will be a tune-up game for the USFL Conference championship in next week, as the Panthers and Stallions have already clinched the top two seeds, with the Stallions clinching home-field advantage for the big game thanks to an impressive start to the season.
The Panthers are not all that far behind the Stallions in the standings. Last week, Michigan trailed the Houston Roughnecks by 10 heading into the fourth quarter. However, thanks to two touchdowns created by Bryce Perkins, the Panthers stole a 26-22 win, giving the team five wins in a row.
The Stallions looked like they were on a path to pulling off an undefeated season after looking good in their first eight wins of the season. However, the team took a step back last Saturday when they lost to the XFL Conference-leading San Antonio Brahmas. Nevertheless, Birmingham can clinch the best record in the UFL with a win over the Panthers, or the Brahmas losing to the St. Louis Battlehawks.
The Stallions pulled out a 20-13 win over the Panthers in Detroit back in Week 2, and have won all three meetings dating back to the franchises’ days in the United States Football League.
