Week 5 of the USFL season is upon us and all eight teams will be in action on Saturday and Sunday. The action begins with the Pittsburgh Maulers vs. Michigan Panthers at Ford Field in Detroit at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and will wrap up with the New Orleans Breakers vs. Memphis Showboats at Legion Field in Birmingham on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. In between, we'll have Houston Gamblers vs. Birmingham Stallions on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET in Birmingham and New Jersey Generals vs. Philadelphia Stars at Ford Field on Sunday at noon ET. Before locking in any Week 5 USFL bets, you definitely want to see what SportsLine football expert Emory Hunt has to say. 

Hunt is the founder and CEO of Football Gameplan, which has been supplying analysis of all levels of football since 2007. He is a former running back for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns and knows the game from a player's perspective. Hunt's dedication to analysis of all levels of college and professional football helped him start the USFL season 24-18 last year and he's also off to a fast 25-17 start on his XFL spread picks this season. 

Now Hunt has broken down the fifth week of the 2023 USFL season and made his spread picks for every game. We can tell you that he's backing the New Orleans Breakers (-7) against the Memphis Showboats.

"No team in the USFL is playing as well as the Breakers are right now, particularly on offense. Defensively they've been more opportunistic than dominant like they were last year, and should face a better test this week from the Showboats offense with Cole Kelley at QB," Hunt said. "They'll find some points for sure but it won't be enough for them to cover this touchdown spread against the top offense in the league."

Hunt has locked in plays for every other game during Week 5 of the USFL season and has locked in picks in one game where he thinks there's a total mismatch. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before making any of your own.
