XFL suspends operations, reboot ends after just 1 season

The XFL is suspending operations, effectively immediately, and terminating all of their employees after only completing five games.

The coronavirus put all live sports to a screeching halt in March, causing the cancellation of the NCAA tournament and all NCAA spring sports, and delaying the end of the NBA regular season and the start of the MLB season.

All of those entities, however, will survive the temporary loss of revenue from the shutdown. The fledgling XFL, halfway through the first season of their new reboot, will not.

XFL COO Jeffery Pollock held a conference call with XFL employees and informed them the league is suspending operations and that all employees have been laid off.

The league did not specifically announce a reason, although COVID-19’s massive impact on the league’s revenue likely has a huge impact on the decision to suspend the league.

The XFL has been in the works for multiple seasons, finally playing games in February of 2020. Eight teams, including the Seattle Dragons, were able to play a five-game schedule before the shutdown.

The league had tv deals on ESPN, FS1 and CBS, and while the talent level was not on par with the NFL, the games were still entertaining and many of the innovative rule changes appealed to fans.

Now, employees will be out of a job and the players will have to hope they performed well enough to land in an NFL training camp, as they no longer have the XFL to continue their professional playing career.

Updated XFL Championship Odds: Roughnecks, Battlehawks pulling away

Assessing the 2020 XFL Championship odds through the inaugural season’s first four weeks. Can anyone catch the Houston Roughnecks?

The XFL is four weeks of games into its inaugural season and the Houston Roughnecks and St. Louis Battlehawks have emerged as heavy favorites as division leaders. We look at the 2020 XFL Championship odds with contenders pulling away entering the mid-point of the season.

2020 XFL Championship Odds

Odds via BetMGM, last updated March 4 at 1:40 p.m. ET.

TEAM PRESEASON ODDS UPDATED ODDS
Houston Roughnecks +750 +175
St. Louis Battlehawks +1000 +250
Dallas Renegades +250 +600
DC Defenders +750 +700
New York Guardians +350 +800
Los Angeles Wildcats +450 +1200
Tampa Bay Vipers +550 +2000
Seattle Dragons +1200 +3300

2020 XFL Championship Odds: Risers

Houston Roughnecks

The Roughnecks are the only remaining undefeated team through four games, winning twice at home and twice on the road. Their plus-five touchdown differential and 16 TDs scored also lead the league.

QB Phillip Walker leads the XFL with 987 passing yards, Cam Phillips leads with 333 receiving yards and Deatrick Nichols leads with three interceptions. Three of their four wins have come by at least 7 points.

St. Louis Battlehawks

The Battlehawks’ odds have dropped to 1/4 of what they were in the preseason. They sit atop the XFL East at 3-1 and are undefeated at home at 2-0. The defense leads the league with only seven touchdowns allowed.

QB Jordan Ta’amu ranks second to Houston’s Walker with 876 passing yards, while RB Matt Jones is second with 244 rushing yards. Their only loss was a 28-24 setback at the Roughnecks in Week 2, and only Houston has scored more than 16 points against St. Louis.

2020 XFL Championship Odds: Fallers

Los Angeles Wildcats

The Wildcats entered the season with the third-best championship odds and are now one of the three teams buried at the bottom with odds worse than 10-1 to win the championship.

They’re 1-1 at home and 0-2 on the road, but they have a touchdown differential of plus-2, thanks to a 39-9 home rout of the Defenders in Week 3. They fell right back to Earth in Week 4, however, with a 17-14 road loss at the New York Guardians.

Tampa Bay Vipers

The Vipers entered the year with hope led by former Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman. They’ve started the season 0-2 on the road and have a minus-2 touchdown differential.

They may have started a turnaround in Week 4 with a 25-0 home win over the Defenders, a club with a pattern of helping opposing teams turn things around, apparently.

Seattle Dragons

Things have only grown worse for the Dragons, who started the year with the worst XFL Championship odds. Their touchdown differential is just minus-1 – they haven’t lost by more than 12 points.

They’re unlikely to win it at all, but they’re much closer to being in the middle of the pack and represent a reasonable long-shot value.

Dragons at Battlehawks: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Battlehawks 25, Dragons 15

Moneyline (?)

The Battlehawks (-500) are the heaviest favorites of the Week 4 slate, playing at home against the Dragons (+375). St. Louis is coming off a 20-point home win, while Seattle’s two losses this season were both by 12 points.

There’s no reason to go chasing the upset Saturday, so we’ll PASS on the Battlehawks’ chalky moneyline and look to the spread.

Against the Spread (?)

Following suit of the moneyline, the 12-point spread is the biggest of the week, and the only one greater than a single score. We’ll back the DRAGONS (+12, -110), as their first two losses of the season would have resulted in a push against this line.

The Battlehawks lead the East Division, but they haven’t looked nearly as impressive as the West Division-leading Roughnecks through three weeks.

Over/Under (?)

The bookmakers are starting to get a sense of the total lines after the Under was the league-wide trend in the first couple weeks of the season. Lines were finally dropped last week and the four-game slate went 2-2 vs. the O/U.

Back the OVER 38.5 (-110), the lowest projection of Week 4. The Dragons have scored at least 12 points all three weeks and the Battlehawks have put up a total of 53 points in their last two games.

Dallas Renegades vs Los Angeles Wildcats odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Dallas Renegades at Los Angeles Wildcats XFL matchup, with XFL betting odds, picks and best bets.

In Week 2 of the 2020 XFL season, the Dallas Renegades (0-1) will travel west to take on the Los Angeles Wildcats (0-1). Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET Sunday at Dignity Health Sports Park. Below, we breakdown the Renegades vs. Wildcats Week 2 matchup, with XFL betting picks and tips.

Renegades vs. Wildcats – Week 2 preview, betting trends and notes

  • Without starting QB Landry Jones, the Dallas Renegades managed just 267 total yards on offense in Week 1. They were only 1-for-10 on third downs and failed to get into the end zone.
  • Los Angeles allowed 265 passing yards to Houston in the opening game of the season, along with four passing touchdowns.

Renegades vs. Wildcats: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Renegades 30, Wildcats 21

Moneyline (?)

The RENEGADES (-189) are slight road favorites in Week 2 over the Wildcats. While both teams looked sloppy in Week 1, Dallas’ defense did its job for the most part, and the Renegades should be getting their starting quarterback on the field. It also doesn’t help that the Wildcats have several significant injuries on the offensive side of the ball. Look for the Renegades to bounce back in Week 2 and get the win.

Against the Spread (?)

The RENEGADES (-4.5, -106) are more than a field-goal favorite over the Wildcats in Los Angeles, and that shouldn’t be a surprise. Oddsmakers believe the Renegades are one of the favorites to win the first XFL championship in the league’s relaunch. Meanwhile, the Wildcats just don’t have the same firepower on offense, and their defense was shredded in Week 1. Expect Los Angeles to be more competitive this week, but for Dallas to nonetheless cover the spread.

Over/Under (?)

The total for this Week 2 XFL matchup is set for 48.5 points, which feels about right considering how poorly these two teams performed in Week 1. Together, they scored just 26 points as both offenses looked rusty. However, with Landry Jones expected to start for the Renegades, that should produce more scoring, which should allow the OVER to hit in Los Angeles.

XFL Futures Betting: 2020 Championship odds, picks and best bets

Analyzing the 2020 XFL Championship futures odds after the league’s first week of play.

The odds for the 2020 XFL Championship have been shaken up rather significantly following a successful opening weekend for the new league. Now that fans and bettors have a stronger understanding of the rules and game style – and of which teams have the best understanding of those rules – we reassess the 2020 XFL Championship odds, with futures picks and our best bets.

2020 XFL Championship Odds

Odds via BetMGM, last updated February 11, at 2 p.m. ET.

TEAM PRESEASON ODDS UPDATED ODDS
New York Guardians +350 +350
DC Defenders +750 +350
Houston Roughnecks +750 +500
Dallas Renegades +250 +600
Tampa Bay Vipers +550 +600
St. Louis Battlehawks +1000 +700
Los Angeles Wildcats +450 +1000
Seattle Dragons +1200 +1600

The Guardians stay at +350 as the Renegades plummet down the board. New York pummeled Tampa Bay 23-3 at home in Week 1, as ex-NFL QB Matt McGloin completed 15 of 29 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown. The defense recorded two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

DC Defenders

The Defenders soared into a share of top spot with their 31-19 win over the lowly Dragons in Saturday afternoon’s league-opening game in DC. QB Cardale Jones was the difference with 235 passing yards and two touchdowns, while adding another 28 yards on the ground.

Houston Roughnecks

The Roughnecks climbed into the third on the odds board with their 37-17 victory over the Wildcats Saturday. Little-known QB P.J. Walker racked up four touchdowns against just one interception while completing 23 of 39 pass attempts for 272 yards.

St. Louis Battlehawks

The Battlehawks opened the year with the second-worst odds in the XFL, but they were the only road team to win as they toppled the heavily-favored Renegades. Matt Jones led the backfield with 85 yards on 21 attempts, while Christine Michael managed to gain zero yards on seven carries.

Dallas Renegades

The Renegades should get somewhat of a pass for their season-opening loss, as starting QB Landry Jones was ruled out for Week 1. Backup Philip Nelson was efficient (33-for-42) in his place, but he finished with 209 yards and no touchdowns against one INT.

Los Angeles Wildcats

The Wildcats took the biggest fall down the board following their 20-point loss to the Roughnecks. They opened the season with the third-best odds, but are now considered longshots to climb out of a 0-1 hole. WR Nelson Spruce was a bright spot, as he caught 11 of 15 targets for 103 yards.

XFL Odds: XFL 2020 Championship futures odds

The XFL returns, while we analyze the XFL sports betting odds around the 2020 XFL Championship

[jwplayer fg15QU4s]

Think football season is over now that the Super Bowl has wrapped up? Think again. The 2020 XFL season is set to begin Saturday.

Today, we are taking a look at all of the XFL sports betting odds for the XFL Championship to find your best future bets before the season kicks off.

2020 XFL Champion Odds

Odds via BetMGM, last updated February 4, 2020.

Dallas Renegades Odds (+250)

The favorites to win the first XFL Championship since it’s rebirth is the Dallas Renegades, led by former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops. Led by former Steelers’ quarterback Landry Jones, the Renegades have the best combination of quarterback talent and proven skill players. Expect them to be one of the last teams left by the end of the season. And at +250, they are pretty good bet to win the championship as they have a proven roster with an experienced coaching staff.

New York Guardians Odds (+350)

Coming in with the second-best odds to win the XFL Championship is the New York Guardians. Led by former Raiders’ quarterback Matt McGloin, there just isn’t a ton of reasons to be excited about this offense. It’s coached by Kevin Gilbride, who is the oldest head coach in the league. Considering passing on the Guardians to win the championship in favor of teams with more enticing odds.

Los Angeles Wildcats Odds (+450)

Led by former NFL quarterback Josh Johnson, the Wildcats may have the best overall quarterback in all of the XFL. However, a receiving corps led by former NFL washouts Nelson Spruce and Tre McBride isn’t exactly thrilling. But the Wildcats are a fun XFL futures bet based off their quarterback alone. Keep an eye on former Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman, who is playing in his first football game since winning the Senior Bowl MVP in 2016.

Keep your football betting action going by placing a legal sports bet on XFL games at BetMGM. Bet now!

Tampa Bay Vipers Odds (+550)

Another fun mid-range bet is the Tampa Bay Vipers at +550. With former Bears head coach Marc Trestman leading the Vipers, they have a roster full of talent. At quarterback is former Georgia Bulldog star Aaron Murray, who also played in the AAF just a year ago. There is also several other AAF stars on this roster, such as Seantavius Jones and Rannell Hall. Considering this staff has Jerry Glanville as their defensive coordinator, they are going to be must-see TV each week.

Houston Roughnecks Odds (+750)

If you want to bet on a team that is guaranteed to have a fun offense, look no further than the Houston Roughnecks with June Jones as their head coach. Jones is one of the masterminds behind the run-and-shoot offense and will be looking to use that style of offense again in the XFL.

While the starting quarterback has yet to be named, one would assume that former NFL quarterback Connor Cook will eventually get the nod. The Roughnecks also have former NFL contributors such as Sammie Coates and Andre Williams on their roster as well. It’s also important to note that the Roughnecks don’t have a tight end on their roster. So don’t plan on them running the ball very often.

DC Defenders Odds (+750)

One of the better longshot bets is the DC Defenders at +750, as former National Championship quarterback Cardale Jones will be leading the charge. Coached by Pep Hamilton, the DC Defenders should have one of the more enjoyable offenses to watch with former NFL receivers Eli Rogers and Simmie Cobbs on the roster, as well.

St. Louis Battlehawks Odds (+1000)

At 10-1 odds to win the XFL Championship is the St. Louis Battlehawks, coached by former NFL tight end coach Jonathan Hayes. While the Battlehawks are littered with former NFL talents like Christine Michael, Matt Jones, and Marquette King, former Ole Miss quarterback Jordan Ta’amu doesn’t inspire much confidence at the team’s most important position. Consider passing on the Battleahawks’ futures odds.

Seattle Dragons Odds (+1200)

And the team with the worst odds to win the XFL Championship is the Seattle Dragos, coached by former NFL quarterback Jim Zorn. While quarterback Brandon Silvers had some success in the AAF, the lack of experience from the coaching staff and the quarterback position makes the Dragons a tough bet, even at 12-1 odds. Keep an eye on former Navy QB/RB/WR Keenan Reynolds as a possible playmaker for the Dragons.

Kasen Williams confident Dragons will have the best fans in the XFL

Former Seahawks receiver Kasen Williams believes the Dragons, Seattle’s new XFL team, will have the best fanbase in the league.

For the last decade, the Seattle Seahawks have been synonymous with a handful of things: the Legion of Boom, Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson and the 12’s.

The fanbase has been known as one of the loudest and rowdiest in the NFL, making CenturyLink Field a dreaded place to play for opponents.

Even though the Seahawks season is over, the 12’s still have plenty of opportunities to bring the noise to CenturyLink this Spring with the inaugural XFL season coming up.

The first home game for the Seattle Dragons is February 15, and former Seahawks receiver Kasen Williams knows the crowd is going to bring it, just like they always do.

“We’re gonna have the fans,” Williams said after Friday’s practice. “They’re gonna show out. We’re probably gonna have the best fanbase in the whole XFL. I told them get ready. It’s not gonna feel like an XFL game, when we go play away and we come back home it’s going to be a completely different vibe.”

Williams is one of six former Seahawks who is now suiting up for the Dragons, a list that includes receiver Keenan Reynolds, quarterback B.J. Daniels and tackle Isaiah Battle.

Williams also played his college ball at the University of Washington, and could not be happier to continue his playing career in Seattle.

“Gratitude (is) through the roof,” Williams said. “I’m just extremely grateful to be here. I could have been playing anywhere. The fact that I’m here and the story gets to continue to be told in Seattle, it’s dope.”

Williams played for the Seahawks in 2015 and 2016, appearing in three games, before starring in the 2017 preseason and still, to the surprise of many, getting cut on September 1. He ended up with the Browns, hauling in nine catches in his most recent NFL action.

Now, Williams hopes to resurrect his career in the XFL, with the stated goal of making his way back into the league.

But first, he wants to help establish the Dragons as the team to beat in the eight-team XFL, something he believes is very doable after seeing the other teams in camp.

“I feel confident in our team,” Williams said. “I think we’re gonna have a good squad, I really do. The way we stack up to our opponents, I think we’re gonna have the opportunity to really make a splash in this league for it being the first year. We can really be one of the teams that gives the XFL a good rap.”

The Dragons will begin their season on Saturday, February 8 in Washington, DC against the Defenders at 2:00 p.m. PT.

Their home opener will be a week later against the Tampa Bay Vipers, also at 2:00 p.m. PT.
