Philadelphia Stars at Memphis Showboats odds, picks and predictions

The Philadelphia Stars and the Memphis Showboats meet Saturday in the Week 1 opener at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Stars vs. Showboatsodds, and make our expert USFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Stars will look to lean upon RB Matt Colburn II, who posted 140 rushing yards and 3 TDs in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Bandits, which is what the Showboats were previously known as. QB Case Cookus is back to lead the Philadelphia offense.

The Showboats will play their 1st game in Memphis after playing all 10 games in Birmingham last season. Head coach Todd Haley hopes his team is a little better taking care of the football, as the Bandits had a minus-10 turnover differential, which was worst in the USFL. The team, now the Showboats, also led the USFL with 73 penalties in 2022.
