Week 1 of the 2025 UFL season is in the books and there were some surprises. It was an interesting opening week as all four road teams were favored to win. All four road teams did not win with the home DC Defenders, who finished 4-6 last season, pulling Week 1’s biggest upset.

Playing at home, DC’s defense put a ton of pressure on Birmingham QB Alex McGough and ended up defeating the Stallions 18-11. The Defenders recorded eight sacks and held the Stallions offense to just 138 total yards. Birmingham, the favorite to win the 2025 UFL championship, was a 7-point favorite heading into their Week 1 game.

Week 2 could feature more surprises as Birmingham (0-1) heads to Michigan (1-0) to open the week on Friday night. The Panthers were 26-12 winners over Memphis in Week 1. Michigan lost to Birmingham twice in the regular season last year and then took a 31-18 beating from the Stallions in the playoffs. Birmingham is a slight road favorite over Michigan this week.

UFL Week 2 Predictions

Let’s take a look at the full Week 2 slate of matchups and make our spread, total, and moneyline picks for each game.

Birmingham Stallions vs. Michigan Panthers Odds

The Stallions fell victim to the upset last week. The offense, which led the league in scoring last year (26.5 ppg), could do nothing right. Birmingham quarterbacks were sacked eight times and the offense managed just 138 total yards.

McGough would end up 10-for-23 passing for just 89 yards. He was also the Stallions leading rusher with 84 yards on eight attempts. The Stallions had 11 passes broken up by the DC defense.

Michigan had one of the best defenses in the UFL in 2024 and that appears to have carried over to the new season. The Panthers held Memphis to 69 yards rushing and just 12 points in a 26-12 season-opening win.

Bryce Perkins went 16-of-19 for 163 yards passing. He accounted for two touchdowns, one rushing and one passing. Danny Etling also played quarterback for Michigan. He completed 4-of-6 passes for 30 yards.

Birmingham Stallions vs. Michigan Panthers Predictions

The Panthers will be hungry for a win over Birmingham after having lost to the Stallions three times last season. Michigan returned a good chunk of its roster from a year ago while the Stallions had some roster churn.

Michigan will surely take a page from DC’s defensive playbook from last week. The Defenders were able to get to Birmingham’s quarterbacks and put a ton of pressure on them. Michigan and head coach Mike Nolan has 2024 UFL Defensive Player of the Year Breeland Speaks back on the edge and he can get after the quarterback.

Despite losing in Week 1, the Stallions were still able to hold DC to four field goals. Birmingham had 122 yards rushing, but the sacks just killed them. You can bet that a veteran coach like Skip Holtz will make some adjustments to make sure that (eight sacks) doesn’t happen again.

That said, there is a value on the home underdog here. When these teams played in Michigan last year, the final was 20-13. Then, they played in the final regular season game and Michigan lost that one 20-19. Expect a similar result this week.

Bet: Birmingham ML, Michigan +1.5 (-110), Under 38.5

Memphis Showboats vs. DC Defenders Odds

DC pulled off the biggest surprise of Week 1 when the Defenders beat Birmingham 18-11. The Defenders defense went off on the Stallions, recording a ridiculous eight sacks. QB Jordan Ta’amu wasn’t his best but finished 17-of-37 for 211 passing yards and one touchdown.

Memphis lost its season opener, losing 26-12 to Michigan. The Showboats trailed 20-6 in the fourth quarter but put together a 14-play, 70-yard drive to cut the Panthers lead to 20-12. Memphis would get the ball back, but their comeback attempt was thwarted by a Kai Nacua pick-six.

DC could be a big surprise this season in the UFL. Ta’amu has the potential to be the league’s best quarterback. He was an MVP candidate last season. The Defenders would be wise not to overlook the Showboats. Deneric Prince had 153 all-purpose yards last week and both Memphis QBs – EJ Perry (10-of-17, 93 YDs, 1 TD) and Troy Williams (8-for-11, 104 YDs, 1 INT) – played well.

Memphis lost to DC last year by 17 points. In fact, the Showboats have now lost eight of their last nine games. They lost seven of those games by double digits and lost the eight games by an average of 16.3 points per game.

Memphis Showboats vs. DC Defenders Predictions

Memphis gave up 20 points to Michigan’s offense and the Panthers defense added a pick-six in the 26-12 Showboats loss. The problem for Memphis is that the DC offense is probably better than Michigan’s, and there’s no question the Defenders have the better defense.

DC will likely dial up the pressure on Memphis QBs Perry and Williams. The Showboats defense will have a difficult time with Ta’amu and the rest of the Defenders offense. Last year, when playing as an underdog of at least eight points, Memphis failed to cover in both games. Six of the Showboats 10 games last season went Over the total. Last week’s Memphis game went Under, but just barely. A single made extra-point would have sent that total Over.

Playing on the road against a DC team coming off a big win is going to be a challenge for Memphis. It’s a big number, but the Defenders are this big of a favorite for a reason.

Bet: ML pass, DC -8 (-110), Over 37 (-110)

Houston Roughnecks vs. Arlington Renegades Odds

The Renegades picked up where they left off last year. Arlington went 3-1 over its final four games in 2024. In the battle of I-35, the Renegades blasted San Antonio 33-9. RB Kalen Ballage ran the ball just nine times, but he made those carries count. Ballage ran for 119 yards, including a UFL-record 77-yard TD run. Ballage is now the only player to have 100-yard games in both the NFL (with Miami) and the UFL.

Arlington ran for 183 yards and averaged nearly six yards per carry. While the Renegades were working the Brahmas over, Houston was busy giving up 273 rushing yards to St. Louis last week. The Roughnecks got beat 31-6 and they didn’t score until the fourth quarter.

Houston’s offense was virtually non-existent totaling 170 yards of offense. The Roughnecks had the ball for less than 25 minutes and only ran 48 offensive plays. That isn’t going to win many games unless the offense is super efficient and Houston’s is not.

Houston Roughnecks vs. Arlington Renegades Predictions

Houston has now lost seven games in a row. The Roughnecks averaged 13.8 points per game over those seven. Their defense also gave up 30-plus points in three of the losses. Houston went 1-9 SU a year ago and things don’t look like they’ve improved much in 2025.

The Renegades could be one of the surprise teams in the UFL this season. Remember, they have last year’s leading passer, Luis Perez, back at quarterback. The Renegades defense, which gave up quite a few points last year, made some improvements, specifically Brady Breeze at safety. Keep in mind Arlington held San Antonio to just nine points last week.

This is a big number, but remember Houston hasn’t won a game since Week 4 of last season. They’ve lost their last seven games by an average margin of 11.8 points. The defense was gashed last week and Arlington has the potential to do the same.

Bet: ML pass, Arlington -8.5 (-110), Over 39 (-110)

San Antonio Brahmas vs. St. Louis Battlehawks Odds

The other surprise in Week 1 was how badly San Antonio was dominated by Arlington. The Renegades defense stomped all over the Brahmas holding San Antonio to 240 total yards and just nine points. The Arlington offense totaled over 340 yards offense, 164 coming on the ground.

Now, the Brahmas defense has to face an even better rushing attack in the Battlehawks. St. Louis put a hurting on Houston last week rushing for 273 yards. Jarveon Howard had 115 yards on 13 carries while Jacob Saylers added 98 yards on 16 attempts. QB Manny Wilkins added 43 rushing yards on eight carries. Wilkins scored twice while Howard and Saylers each had one rushing touchdown.

Can San Antonio stop St. Louis? Remember, the Battlehawks averaged 26 points per game last year and returned the league’s Offensive Player of the Year in WR Hakeem Butler. Butler actually didn’t have a reception last week, but it didn’t matter as St. Louis ran the ball at will.

San Antonio Brahmas vs. St. Louis Battlehawks Predictions

The Brahmas will have a difficult time stopping the St. Louis running game. Running the ball opens up the passing game and the Battlehawks ended up with 460 yards of total offense last week. It was the second-highest total in UFL history.

The Battlehawks beat San Antonio in both regular season games last year. That included a 13-12 win in Week 10 in St. Louis. There could be a little overreaction to the Brahmas performance last week built into this spread. Remember, San Antonio finished 7-3 last year, beat St. Louis in the playoffs and played for the UFL championship. Yes, they did get blown out in that championship game, but this is a roster that can still challenge for a playoff spot again in 2025.

San Antonio had the UFL’s best defense in 2024. That defense will need to prove it is still one of the better units in the league against what could be the best offensive line in the league. These two teams played three times in 2024. St. Louis won both regular season meetings while San Antonio won 25-15 in the playoffs. This should be an outstanding divisional battle.

Bet: ML pass, San Antonio +7 (-110), Over 39.5 (-110)

UFL Week 2 Best Bets

Last week’s best bets were not so great. We had San Antonio -3 and Birmingham on the moneyline, but both teams were the victim of Week 1 upsets. The rest of our experts’ picks were pretty strong as we were correct on eight of 12 picks.

This week, our best handicappers have some information from Week 1 to work with in Week 2. Here is a look at what they believe are Week 2’s best bets.

• Memphis @ DC Over 37
• Houston @ Arlington (-8.5)

DC’s defense turned up the heat on Birmingham last week. The Defenders recorded eight sacks. Don’t expect that again, but expect DC to pressure Memphis quarterbacks. Memphis was able to move the football against Michigan last week. The Showboats just made too many mistakes. DC and Jordan Ta’amu should be able to take advantage of a weak Memphis defense.

There’s a reason why Arlington is an 8.5-point favorite over Houston. The Roughnecks offense is almost non-existent. Arlington’s offense did whatever it wanted last week. Luis Perez threw for 164 yards while RB Kalen Ballage ran for 110 yards on just nine carries. Arlington led 30-3 in the fourth quarter last week before San Antonio scored a touchdown. Expect more of the same this week.

Now, these two bets are both priced at -110. You can bet both individually. You’ll lay $110 to win $100 on each wager. You could also combine the two bets into a parlay. Both legs must cash in order to win the parlay, but the payout is higher.

You’ll make a single $100 wager on a parlay bet that will payout at odds of +264. That means your $100 bet will payout $264 instead of laying out $220 to win $200 on two individual bets.
