Once again, Young ranked the Stallions at the top of his weekly rankings.

Young noted that after their Week 3 win, Stallions QB Adrian Martinez became the first 300-yard passer in UFL history, while the defense now stands as the best scoring defense in the league.

Rising on the oddsboard were the Panthers, who saw their odds shorten from +1600 to +950 after a dominant win over the Roughnecks, 34-20. Young called them a "playoff contender."

"Every week we've got to get better, and this week, we're starting to execute at a higher level," said Michigan quarterback E.J. Perry, who completed 16 of 19 passes for 208 yards and three total touchdowns.
