Houston Roughnecks at Memphis Showboats Predictions & Tips

Memphis are tipped to win this battle of winless teams in Week 3.

The Showboats have shown a little more on offense through two weeks, while the defense has been decent and should be able to shut down this terrible Roughnecks unit.

Memphis beat Houston by an average of 6.5 points last season
Houston have lost 11 of their 12 games since the launch of the UFL
Houston Roughnecks are averaging just 7.5 points per game
The Under cashed in both of the 2024 meetings between the teams

Houston Roughnecks Form

Houston head out on the road still seeking a first win of 2025, having dropped their first two games of 2024.

The Roughnecks endured a miserable first season in the UFL, winning just once, and little was expected of them coming into the 2025 campaign.

They have so far lived up the pre-season belief that they are the league’s worst team, going 0-2 and averaging just 7.5 points per game.

Houston opened up the season at home and suffered a blowout defeat at the hands of St Louis, losing 31-6.

The Roughnecks’ defense performed better a week later, but it was not enough to prevent the team from falling to an 11-9 defeat in Arlington.

Memphis Showboats Form

Memphis go into this game also still looking for a first win of the campaign, having opened with back-to-back defeats.

The Showboats fared only slightly better than Houston during the inaugural campaign, going 2-8 during the regular season.

Both of those victories came against the Roughnecks though, as they won 18-12 on the road in Week 1 and 19-12 at home in Week 10.

Memphis failed to start this season with a victory however, as they were beaten 26-12 at home by Michigan on opening weekend.

The Showboats then went out on the road in Week 2, and fell to a 17-12 defeat at the hands of the DC Defenders.

Verdict

HOU Roughnecks @ MEM Showboats

Two bad teams go head-to-head in Saturday’s game, but Memphis offer more reasons for optimism.

They also beat Houston in both regular season meetings in 2024, so we are leaning towards the Showboats in a low-scoring grind.
