The United States Football League has reached the halfway point of the season, and the Birmingham Stallions remain the class of the league. This week the undefeated Stallions host the Michigan Panthers, the most disappointing team thus far. The Tampa Bay Bandits are in wild card playoff position and will take on the Philadelphia Stars, who are 2-3 with little margin for error. The Pittsburgh Maulers are coming off their first win and will face a New Orleans Breakers team also in wild card position. The New Jersey Generals are riding a four-game winning streak and lead the North Division. The Generals will face a disappointing Houston Gamblers squad suffering from a four-game losing streak.
