Panthers at Brahmas picks and predictions
Prediction
Brahmas 20, Panthers 18
Moneyline
The BRAHMAS (-115) are a solid play on their home field as they look for the bounceback after a disappointing Week 3 loss to the high-octane Battlehawks offense.
The Panthers (-105) defense has given them a chance to win every time out. Michigan has allowed 20 or fewer points, yielding just 18.7 PPG to date in 3 outings. The Over (38.5) cashed last week, as the offense exploded all over Houston for 34 points. Michigan isn’t likely to have that kind of success against a San Antonio D which allowed just 31 points in the 1st 2 weekends.
Against the spread
The BRAHMAS -1.5 (-110) are worth playing instead of the moneyline, as it is almost the same thing for a slightly smaller price. Yes, you can lose if San Antonio wins by a single point, and I expect a very close game. However, save a little, and bet the spread instead.

Over/Under
UNDER 42.5 (-110) is a strong play in this battle of 2-1 teams.
The Under cashed in the 1st 2 weekends for both of these teams, with Michigan averaging 15.5 PPG while allowing 18.0 PPG in the 1st 2 outings. San Antonio averaged 23.5 PPG while conceding 15.5 PPG in the 1st 2 weekends. These teams each cashed the Over in Week 3, but expect a return to their defensive ways Saturday night.
