Renegades at Guardians picks and predictions
Prediction
Guardians 27, Renegades 20
Moneyline
The Renegades have not scored more than 15 points since their opener and have lost 2 straight, while the Guardians put 37 on the board last week and picked up their 1st win.
We are backing the Guardians to win this game, but with a short spread and better value, PASS on the moneyline.
Against the spread
The Guardians have averaged 29.3 points in their last 3 games. QB Quinten Dormady has 5 touchdown passes in his last 3 games.
The Renegades released QB Kyle Sloter and placed QB Drew Plitt on the injured list, adding Kelly Bryant to the roster.
They have only averaged 11.8 points per game in their last 6.
BET GUARDIANS -1.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Guardians have had each of their last 4 games finish with totals higher than this game’s projection.
They have allowed an average of 35.3 points per game over their last 4 contests, but the Renegades have just struggled on offense.
But with Orlando both scoring points and giving up points, BET OVER 42.5 (-110).
