Panthers vs. Brahmas UFL Week 3 Betting Lines

Michigan Panthers UFL Week 3 Betting

The Michigan Panthers were one of two major letdowns for UFL bettors in Week 2, with the Arlington Renegades being the other. Both teams took in heavy action, forcing significant line moves, but it was the online sportsbooks that came out on top. Mike Nolan’s squad dropped its sixth straight game to the Birmingham Stallions in a matchup they never truly threatened. As usual, the Panthers find themselves trailing the defending champs in the USFL Division standings heading into a crucial Week 3 home matchup against a desperate, winless San Antonio Brahmas team.

Despite only being outgained 271-152, committing four fewer penalties than Birmingham, matching the Stallions on third down, and piling up 150 kick return yards while playing even in the turnover battle, Michigan found itself trailing 18-0 in the fourth quarter before finally getting on the board. Untimely mistakes, three sacks allowed with none generated, and just 140 passing yards found the Panthers largely uncompetitive. As a result, their UFL Championship odds drifted to a season-high +850. They'll look to bounce back and tighten those odds back up in Week 3 UFL betting when they try to hand the reigning XFL Division champion San Antonio Brahmas a third consecutive loss.

Michigan Panthers UFL Week 3 Matchup

On Sunday, April 13, 2025, the Michigan Panthers will take on the San Antonio Brahmas from Ford Field in Detroit, MI. Kickoff time is set for 12 p.m. ET with television coverage on ABC. The Week 3 UFL betting lines opened with the Panthers laying 4.5-points with the total lined 36.5. Michigan went 4-1 SU and 2-3 against the spread (ATS) as a host last season, and already matched last year’s lone defeat last week.

It’ll be interesting to see how UFL crypto bettors approach the Panthers this week after backing them heavily in Week 1’s win over Memphis and again in last week’s loss to Birmingham. San Antonio has struggled across the board, ranking in the bottom half of nearly every key stat category. If those issues persist, Michigan’s defense could dominate just as the Brahmas’ first two opponents did. Add in Bryce Perkins and a balanced Panthers offense facing a San Antonio defense that’s been gashed on the ground and consistently lost the time of possession by over seven minutes per game, and the edge leans heavily toward Michigan.

The cherry on top for expecting a bounce-back from Michigan is the revenge angle—San Antonio roughed them up in last year’s first meeting at the Alamodome. After notching three sacks in the opener against Memphis, the Panthers failed to register one against a Birmingham O-line that gave up eight the week prior. With the Brahmas allowing 3.0 sacks per game, you can bet DC Collin Bauer will have Kenny Willekes and company ready to dial up the pressure.

Michigan Panthers Week 2 Recap

The Michigan Panthers (1-1, 1-1 ATS) failed to show up for their home opener, falling 21-12 to the Birmingham Stallions at Ford Field despite facing backup quarterback Matt Corral, who replaced Alex McGough after an injury on the game’s first play. Birmingham built a 6-0 halftime lead behind two Harrison Mevis field goals and extended it to 18-0 after three quarters. Michigan's offense struggled early but showed life in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Bryce Perkins connected with Marcus Simms for a 9-yard touchdown, then added a successful 3-point conversion run to cut the deficit to 18-9. Perkins finished the game completing 12-of-23 passes for 132 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, while Danny Etling added 8 yards on 3-of-4 passing.

The Panthers' defense delivered key plays throughout. D.J. Miller Jr. had two interceptions, including one in the second quarter—his first career pick—and another in the fourth to keep Michigan within striking distance. The Panthers’ best offensive drive stalled at the 1-yard line late in the third quarter when Nate McCrary was stuffed on fourth-and-goal. McCrary led the rushing attack with 53 yards on 14 carries. Michigan added a late field goal but failed on a fourth-and-15 attempt, sealing a sixth straight loss to their division rivals. Now 1-1 SU and ATS through the season’s first two weeks, the Panthers really let a golden opportunity to seize control of the USFL Division slip right through their fingers.
