How do you play? Enter the UFL Super 6 contest by predicting the correct answers to six questions before the game starts for your chance at weekly cash prizes.
All you have to do is finish in the top six to win a prize.
It really is that simple, and again, it's free.
And if you need a little help before heading to the app to make your picks, I have you covered this week.
Read below for my thoughts on the 2025 UFL championship weekend.
Let's dive into the questions and predictions below.
1. Which team will throw for the most PASSING YARDS in the UFL Championship?
D.C. Defenders or Michigan Panthers
The answer here for me is D.C. Jordan Ta'amu at quarterback for the Defenders has been exactly what they needed. In nine games this season, he has 2,153 passing yards and 17 passing touchdowns. The only player with better stats than this is Arlington's Luis Perez, who'll be sitting at home this weekend enjoying the championship game from the couch.
Prediction: D.C. Defenders
2. Rank the receivers by who will have the MOST RECEIVING YARDS (highest to lowest):
Siaosi Mariner, Chris Rowland, Cornell Powell, Malik Turner
Tough one here between Mariner and Rowland to lead this group. Actually, it's almost a coin flip because when you look at the seasons that both of them have had, it's hard to give one a leg up over the other.
Prediction: Siaosi Mariner, Chris Rowland, Malik Turner, Cornell Powell
3. Which player will have the MOST RUSHING YARDS in the UFL Championship?
Toa Taua, Deon Jackson, Nate McCrary, Abram Smith
Deon Jaackson has been an absolute beast this year. In 10 games played (five starts), he racked 417 yards on the ground. His longest rush of 57 yards is tied for the best in the league this season. Hard not to back him here.
Prediction: Deon Jackson
4. Predict the TOTAL POINTS SCORED by both teams in the UFL Championship game:
(12 points for one segment (ie; 0 to 40), 6 points for two segments (ie; 0 to 50), 3 points for three segments (ie; 0 to 55), 1 point for four segments (ie; 0 to 60+))
0-40 or 0-50 or 0-55 or 0-60+
40-50 or 40-55 or 40-60+
50-55 or 50-60+
55-60+
Last week, for conference championship weekend, I thought the games would be lower scoring. And wow! Talk about lighting up the scoreboard and proving me wrong. I'll adjust my position slightly for this championship game. Fireworks, anyone?
Prediction: 40-50 points
5. Which of the following will occur?
Michigan: 120+ rushing yards
Bryce Perkins: 200+ passing yards
Jordan Ta'amu: 240+ passing yards
None
I can't say with confidence that Michigan will get more than 120 yards rushing or that either Perkins or Ta'amu will eclipse those passing yards. If anything, I could see myself leaning toward Michigan getting over 120 yards on the ground, but I'm not sold.
Prediction: None
6. What will be the outcome of the UFL Championship game?
D.C. Defenders win, or lose by 2 points or fewer
Michigan Panthers win by 3 points or more
If you had told me at the beginning of the UFL season that these would be the last two teams standing, I wouldn't have believed you. Even if you'd told me that three weeks ago, I still would've said that it would be the Stallions or the Battlehawks. But here we are. And of these last two worthy squads, I'm going to back the Defenders to at least keep it close.
Prediction: D.C. Defenders to win or lose by 2 points or fewer
Tiebreaker: What will be the final score?
Prediction: Panthers 30, Defenders 28

How Jim Harbaugh's text exchange with Jason Sudeikis inspired ‘Ted Lasso' gameday attire

Among the ways to describe Jim Harbaugh: Los Angeles Chargers coach, championship-winning college football coach, passionate, quirky, Michigan Man. And now … gameday fashion expert? Four years ago, actor and 'Ted Lasso' star Jason Sudeikis revealed on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' that he confided in Harbaugh to craft his character's gameday wardrobe. At the time, Sudeikis mentioned Harbaugh told him he keeps it simple: khakis and a sweatshirt. But it turns out Harbaugh's response was plenty more detailed than that. Advertisement This week, Sudeikis revisited that text exchange with Harbaugh in an appearance at the Men in Blazers' 'One Year To Glory' event earlier this week, which signaled the one-year countdown to the 2026 World Cup. Sudeikis said he and Harbaugh texted on Sept. 4, 2019, when 'Ted Lasso' filming was beginning. 'Writing you from jolly old England … as we're in the middle of filming episode two of that 'Ted Lasso' show I'm doing for Apple, so far so good, I think,' Sudieikis wrote in the text with a shrug emoji before asking Harbaugh his routine for gameday attire. What does he wear to and from the stadium? And for post-game interviews? 'I wear the same clothes every day, khakis and a blue sweatshirt,' Harbaugh's response began. 'Will wear the same thing to post interviews and then home as well. No shower unless it's really hot or really cold outside or raining. In that case, our equipment manager has a duplicate pair of everything I wear in my locker, so I put that on to wear back on the plane or home. And always a new pair of socks and different underwear. There's always a locker with extra layers for cold games, plus long johns. That's the routine for road games and home games. I pack a playbook, call sheet, one extra underwear, one extra pair of socks and a toothbrush. Wear the rest of what I need. 'As I like to say, I pack a toothbrush and a great attitude.' Harbaugh continued by describing how other coaches might pack a bag and perhaps change from a suit to coaching gear once they get to the stadium. Some keep their coaching gear on after, others change clothes 'I don't see the point in getting all dressed up to ride the bus or walk into a stadium, but most coaches, many pro players want to look sharp for the brief camera shot coming off the bus and into the stadium,' Harbaugh wrote. 'Hope that helps, more than happy to do so.' Jason Sudeikis reads his full text exchange with NFL coach Jim Harbaugh on proper coaching attire. A tale of khakis, toothbrushes, extra underwear and emojis 🤷🏻‍♂️✌️🩲 — Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) June 12, 2025 Might as well add 'detail oriented' to Harbaugh's signature qualities. Harbaugh, who also appeared at the Los Angeles event, later discussed how the coaching mentality of Ted Lasso in the series reminded him of the way his father, Jack Harbaugh, approached the profession. Jack was the head coach of Western Michigan from 1982-86 and Western Kentucky from 1989-2002, leading the Hilltoppers to the 2002 Division I-AA Football Championship title. In 2023, he came out of retirement to work as an assistant coach with Jim's Michigan Wolverines, which won the College Football Playoff championship that year. Advertisement '(Ted Lasso) said one time … he judges success not by wins and losses but by making the fellas the best version of themselves on and off the field. That one really stuck,' Jim Harbaugh said. 'I want to be that kind of coach, that kind of leader which encourages rather than discourages. When you really think about it, when you're encouraging somebody, you're giving them confidence and you're giving them courage, which is far better than discouraging them, which leads them to be less courageous and less confident.' The Emmy Award-winning 'Ted Lasso' is a comedy series that follows an American soccer coach at a fictional English Premier League club, AFC Richmond. The show will return for a fourth season with Lasso coaching a women's team, as Sudeikis explained on an episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce. The release date for the fourth season has not been announced. (Photo of Jim Harbaugh: Kirby Lee / Imagn Images)

Bryce Perkins is the 2025 UFL MVP

The UFL announced on Friday that Michigan Panthers quarterback Bryce Perkins is the league's Most Valuable Player for 2025. Perkins missed three of the team's 10 games due to injury, but that did not hurt his bid in the eyes of a panel of league and team executives, coaches and players from all eight teams, and media members. Perkins was also named the league's offensive player of the year. Perkins completed 69 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns. The former Ram also ran for five touchdowns. The play of their quarterback is one of the reasons the Panthers have advanced to this Saturday's title game against the D.C. Defenders. The game will be played in St. Louis at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Former Rams QB Bryce Perkins wins MVP of UFL for 205

Former Rams QB Bryce Perkins wins MVP of UFL for 205 Your 2025 UFL MVP is Bryce Perkins! — United Football League (@TheUFL) June 13, 2025 The awards just keep coming for former Los Angeles Rams quarterback Bryce Perkins. After being named an All-UFL selection and the league's Offensive Player of the Year, Perkins was just voted the 2025 MVP after turning in a terrific season for the Michigan Panthers. Perkins beat out the likes of Jordan Ta'amu and Luis Perez for the MVP award, both of whom put up impressive seasons in the UFL, as well. This past season, Perkins threw for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns with only two interceptions. The Panthers were tied for the third-best record in the league, going 6-4 with the highest-scoring offense in the UFL. In addition to his 1,342 yards passing, he also rushed for 269 yards and five touchdowns. Perkins originally joined the Rams in 2020 as an undrafted rookie out of Virginia, staying with the team for three years. He made his first and only start in 2022 against the Chiefs, throwing one touchdown pass in the 26-10 loss.
