USFL Week 8 predictions:
Predictions week 8:
Sat 6/3/2023 12:00 PM USA, Peacock Houston Gamblers at Pittsburgh Maulers Canton
- Houston rebounds but Pitt ST may keep it close, 45 pts, 225k viewers
Sat 6/3/2023 3:00 PM NBC, Peacock Philadelphia Stars at Birmingham Stallions Birmingham
- Birm wins a close one at home (hot temps), 47 pts, 800k viewers
Sun 6/4/2023 1:00 PM FOX Memphis Showboats at New Jersey Generals Canton
- NJ in upset special but if passing game sputters first half Memphis can win, 46 pts, 650k viewers
Sun 6/4/2023 4:00 PM FOX Michigan Panthers at New Orleans Breakers Birmingham
- NOLA gets back on winning track though Mich looks to be righting ship, 44 pts, 650k viewers
Another weekend of good weather, at least as of now, across the country will keep viewership in check. Looks like another w/e of good FB but we shall see. NJ needs a win bad as does NOLA. Both are losing close games. McBLT wants a win here. Can J Love repeat his prior week performance or does he take a step back? The heat may benefit Birm and NOLA - they may be more accustom to it.
Thoughts?

ACTUALS: USFL Week 8 predictions:
Interesting numbers - Not bad:
Week 8 TV Ratings vs my predictions:
Saturday: Maulers-Gamblers (USA): 228K vs 225k prediction
Saturday: Stallions-Stars (NBC): 747K vs 800k prediction
Sunday: Generals-Showboats (FOX): 720K vs 650k prediction
Sunday: Breakers-Panthers (FOX): 774K vs 650k prediction
(Streaming numbers not included)
Overall 144k more viewers than predictions - not bad at all, esp given a relatively nice w/e esp Sunday. Was hoping for better Saturday at least 800k on NBC and maybe more, USA would have been nice at 250k too... but overall solid weekend.
Wk Avg 617k; 2022 USFL was 535k with 3 games (2 broadcast, 1 cable); Broadcast avg 747k.
USFL YTD wk 8 610k; XFL YTD wk 8 628k (did well in last week before USFL). Expecting USFL to pull ahead in week 9 with 4 Broadcast games including one in primetime.
