After three weeks of play, the Birmingham Stallions have proven to be the best team in the circuit thus far. Following their 22-13 win over the New Orleans Breakers, the Stallions have taken the point in the USFL standings. Birmingham has shown a complete look with toughness and resiliency in the first month of play. By contrast, the Pittsburgh Maulers are an unfortunate lot after three straight losses to start the year. Pittsburgh often looks like an outclassed, overmatched, and hopeless team. This week’s top game is the 3-0 Stallions against the 2-1 Tampa Bay Bandits.

Philadelphia Stars at Michigan Panthers – 10 p.m. – FS1
The Philadelphia Stars are now 1-2 after a disappointing 24-16 loss to the New Jersey Generals as 1-point favorites, with the game going under the total of 40.5. Philadelphia’s top quarterback Bryan Scott was sidelined with a knee injury early in the game. Scott’s status this week is undetermined.
By contrast, the Michigan Panthers got their first win in a 24-0 shutout of the Pittsburgh Maulers. Michigan got the cash as 3.5-point favorites as the game went under the total of 39.5. First round draft pick Shea Patterson was benched early for poor play in the weeks as the Michigan starting quarterback. He later came off the bench and remained ineffective. Fortunately, Pittsburgh was too inept to take advantage. The Panthers are 1-2 on the year.
In this matchup, the Stars bring more offense. Michigan’s poor quarterback remains a worry.
