Houston Roughnecks vs Las Vegas Vipers
Houston Roughnecks vs Las Vegas Vipers
- Vegas Vipers +6.5 (-110)
- Houston Roughnecks -6.5 (-110)
- O44.0 (-110)
- U44.0 (-110)
Despite a hot start to the XFL season, the Houston Roughnecks have only surpassed 20 points once in their last four games. The Vipers haven’t been able to score either, averaging 16 points per game in their last three.
The total in Las Vegas Vipers games has gone under 44.0 in each of their last three games, with an average of 37 total points. The total being a touchdown greater favors the under in this matchup.
San Antonio Brahmas vs Orlando Guardians
San Antonio Brahmas vs Orlando Guardians
- Orlando Guardians Spread +1.5 (-110)
- San Antonio Brahmas Spread -1.5 (-110)
- Orlando Guardians Money Line +105
- San Antonio Brahmas Money Line -125
Despite their 1-7 record, the Orlando Guardians are in prime position to claim their +105 money line odds on legal betting sites against the San Antonio Brahmas.
The Brahmas only score 14.5 points per game, the worst in the XFL. San Antonio remains competitive through their defense, but the Guardians (+105) proved they can score on strong defenses by putting up 37 points on the D.C. Defenders.
The Guardians offense is better than their record advertises, with 22 total touchdowns this season compared to San Antonio’s 10. Orlando finds the endzone more than the Brahmas based on their impressive third-down efficiency.
The Guardians have the best third down conversion rate in the XFL at 46%, while the Brahmas have the worst at 29%.
The Guardians efficient offense gives them the edge as a 1.5-point underdog heading into San Antonio.
Washington D.C. Defenders vs Arlington Renegades
Washington D.C. Defenders vs Arlington Renegades
- Over 41.5 (-110)
- Under 41.5 (-110)
The Renegades (+295) are heavy 8.5-point underdogs because they struggle to score on offense. To compensate, they have one of the best defenses in the XFL that allows less than 18 points per game.
Their dominant defense has scored three touchdowns, representing a third of their XFL worst scoring offense. With Arlington failing to score over 20 points in their last seven games, slowing down the explosive D.C. Defenders offense is key to cashing the under at 41.5 on XFL betting sites.
Seattle Sea Dragons vs St. Louis BattleHawks
Seattle Sea Dragons vs St. Louis BattleHawks
- St. Louis BattleHawks -1.5
- Seattle Sea Dragons +1.5
- St. Louis BattleHawks Money Line -125
- Seattle Sea Dragons +105
The St. Louis BattleHawks are worthy 1.5-point favorites against the red-hot Seattle Sea Dragons based on their matchup in week two. St. Louis has won their last three games by an average win margin of 12 points.
The BattleHawks beat the Sea Dragons on a game winning field goal in Seattle during their first meeting. They have good value at -125 to win on their home turf in St. Louis and cover their 1.5-point line.
BattleHawks money line is a better bet than their spread because of the push risk with another close game.
