UFL Week 6 - Predictions (w/l, viewers, attendance):

Saturday, May 4:
12:00 PM    Birmingham Stallions    Memphis Showboats -  ABC
3:00 PM    Houston Roughnecks    St. Louis Battlehawks - FOX

Sunday, May 5    
1:00 PM    Arlington Renegades    Michigan Panthers - FOX
4:00 PM    San Antonio Brahmas    D.C. Defenders - FOX

Too early for NHL/NBA set schedules

MLB -
Stl will be at home Saturday at 2:15pm opposite the BH;
Detroit will be at NYY 1:35 - Sunday opposite MIch game on Fox
Wash will be home Sunday at 1:35pm slight overlap with DC

[mciver40]

Birmingham vs Memphis: Birmingham Win, 825k, 8132
Houston vs STL: STL win, 900k, 34,320
Arlington vs Michigan: Michigan Win, 725k, 10315
SA vs DC: SA win, 800k, 14965

No upsets this week. I think the two Sunday games will be competitive at least. DC just shot themselves in the foot too many times, they'll take better care of the ball and keep it closer than last week. However, I think SA just looks better all around right now. Arlington seems to have lost some of the fire they had the first few weeks. They'll keep it somewhat close, but Michigan eventually pulls away. STL and Birmingham are just on a roll right now and I don't think Houston or Memphis will be the ones to stop them. I also believe Michigan will get over 10k in attendance, tickets look to be going pretty quick right now. Hopefully having a couple weeks on the road might help with attendance.

The NBA Saturday, which will be anywhere from one to three games, is all on TNT (say that while you can), this being the first all-net weekend could be the UFL's best yet.

Would like to see Knicks not choke again and take out Sixers so another NBA game takes the night slot and one UFL game has no NBA competition, but at least this mega-mkt game is not going up against UFL.

If Cleveland beats Orlando in Game 6 no 1pm NBA game against 1pm UFL Sunday - that game 7 if necessary is on ABC 

ABC has the NHL Toronto - Boston at 8pm Saturday - only game listed for now - So no NHL playoffs vs UFL Saturday... it appears ?

Update for NBA sch.
Well the NBA ended up closing out 2 series tonight and freed up Saturday - no direct competition for the UFL now from NBA or NHL Saturday.  Unless something changes - its looking good.

ABC Starts the Day at Noon with Fox at 3pm.  Memphis weather looks pretty clear at noon.  The 3pm game is in the Dome at StL

Mean while Mid atlantic and NE looks to be a not so great weekend outside.

Sunday has one potential NBA overlap game - we'll know more about that and NHL tomorrow

With the latest info we have on NBA and NHL scheduling here's my Saturday picks.  Sunday update to follow.

My original pre-season prediction was 800k avg Saturday but with latest developments going BOLD... well not that Bold.
EDIT for Sunday games [sat am].  Poor weather in NE may help NHL more than UFL with Rangers on... we'll see

The Ticketmaster chart for St. Louis is looking pretty rough. There's a ton of secondary tickets on the market, which will count toward tickets sold, but show up empty on tv. The drop count might be as low as 25k Saturday

Cards game starts at 2:15 on what looks like a good weather day.  May impact attendance there.  But it still looks pretty good
