This is a tough pick. Mich may have been 2-2 with a real kicker last week, but QB is weak spot.

TB Def is v good most the time but OL hasn't been great and Ta'amu needs to be more motivated.

Spread on DK is TB -2 (2.5 on FD) and over 33.5. Tough call

Agree with you on the tough call. Might be a good game to watch, to see who rises to the challenge.

Still think they should have put Gamblers/Maulers here. This game's getting buried by the NBA and NHL playoffs, so might as well just throw the least appealing matchup on USA where no one will miss it instead of on FOX, where you're going against either Bucks/Celtics game 7 or Bucks/Heat game 1.

Regardless of whether the bloom is off the rose with Fisher (how much there was of either to begin with), especially after last week's debacle, or the fact that JT went from best QB in the XFL after PJW to the guy that couldn't win with A.J Brown/D.K. Metcalf/Dawson Knox at Ole Miss, it's still your biggest name coaches (plus JT vs Shea Patterson, see the latter, sub accordingly).

Whatever assistance the NFL's been giving the USFL, it obviously isn't coming from the scheduling department.

Cam Jordan in the booth tonight as well

First double pass goes for a TD for Michigan! Nice play!

[XFLUSFLGUY]

Unbelievable TD pass by Jordan Taamu..wow.

[4th&long]

Good game so far, but that TB OL needs to step up.

[4th&long]

All tied up 13- 13 at half

[4th&long]

That's it TB - Ta'amu great pass in stride after WR faked short and went deep.

TD!

20-13 TB
