Memphis vs. Birmingham UFL Week 6 Betting Lines

Memphis Showboats UFL Week 6 Betting

The Memphis Showboats continue to be into free fall after getting routed at home last week by the Michigan Panthers. Memphis has the worst offense in the UFL, with the inability to run or pass effectively. Defensively, the Showboats are not much better and have the additional problem of the unit being on the field too much due to the offense’s inability to sustain drives. Case Cookus, who starred in the USFL for the Philadelphia Stars, has had a mediocre season. But in his defense, he is not surrounded by a strong supporting cast. This week, things are likely to go from bad to worse in a matchup against the undefeated Birmingham Stallions, the best team in the league.

A heavy rain shower, two first-quarter Michigan Panthers touchdowns, and a Memphis turnover all put a damper on the start of Sunday’s United Football League game for the Showboats, who dropped a 35-18 decision.

Memphis (1-4) fell behind 13-0 after one quarter on a pair of rushing touchdowns sandwiched around a fumble on a strip sack of quarterback Troy Williams. Michigan (3-2) extended its lead to 19-0 with 2:42 remaining in the first half after an 81-yard fumble recovery by the Panthers’ Noah Dawkins, which set the Panthers up at the Memphis 5-yard line.

The lone first half highlight for the Showboats came on the first play of the ensuing possession and seemed to breathe some life into Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Williams found a streaking Daewood Davis, who had just fumbled the previous possession, streaking down the left sideline. Davis flew past the Panthers' defense for an 82-yard scoring strike, the longest of the season so far in the UFL.

Michigan opened the second half with a rushing touchdown from quarterback Danny Etling to make it 25-6. But Memphis wouldn’t go away quietly. The Showboats recovered a muffed punt at the Panthers’ 7-yard line, leading to a Williams-Jonathan Adams touchdown pass to make it 25-12. On the next Memphis possession, the Showboats drove 75 yards in 10 plays, capped by a 4-yard touchdown pass from Williams to tight end Sage Surratt. It was a one-possession game heading into the fourth quarter, with Michigan leading 25-18.
