Renegades at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 27, Renegades 20

Moneyline

The Panthers have followed up every win this season with a loss, but the Renegades are winless this season, making it difficult to pick them to win any game outright.

You always want to find a way to justify +165 odds but you can’t with this Arlington team. And betting Michigan at -200 just isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

Three of the Renegades’ losses have been by 8 or more points while Michigan’s last 2 wins have been by double digits.

BET PANTHERS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Renegades have been held to 17 or fewer points 3 times this season and in each of their last 2 games. Three of their 5 losses have not surpassed 42 points.

Two of Michigan’s 3 wins have surpassed 42 points. They have allowed 18 and 20 points in their last 2 wins.

BET OVER 42.5 (-110).

San Antonio Brahmas at Arlington Renegades odds, picks and predictions

Beat the sportsbook: Analyzing Saturday’s San Antonio Brahmas at Arlington Renegades odds and lines, with expert UFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Antonio Brahmas (3-1) travel to meet the Arlington Renegades (0-4) Saturday at Choctaw Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brahmas vs. Renegades odds and make our expert UFL picks and predictions.

The Brahmas have gotten off to a solid start, winning 3 of 4 games, while splitting against the spread (ATS). The Under has cashed in 3 of 4 games, too, with the defense holding the opposition to 19 or fewer points in each of the games the total has gone low.

The Renegades have stumbled out of the gate, losing all 4 games, while going just 0-3-1 ATS. The Over/Under has split 2-2. At home, Arlington is averaging 21.0 points per game (PPG), but it is allowing 28.0 PPG.

These teams split their 2 meetings in XFL play last season, with Arlington winning 12-10 in San Antonio in Week 5, while the Brahmas won 15-9 in Arlington the following weekend. The Under has cashed in both all-time meetings.

Brahmas at Renegades key injuries

Brahmas

  • QB Tom Flacco (undisclosed) out
  • QB Chase Garbers (undisclosed) injured reserve

  • WR Calvin Turner (undisclosed) out

Renegades

  • QB Holton Ahlers (undisclosed) out
  • WR Caleb Vander Esch (undisclosed) out
  • WR Isaiah Winstead (undisclosed) out

Brahmas at Renegades picks and predictions

Prediction

Brahmas 23, Renegades 18

Moneyline

The BRAHMAS (-140) are a solid play on the road in Arlington, as the Renegades (+115) just haven’t been able to get out of their own way so far this season.

San Antonio has leaned upon a decent offense while also relying upon a rock-solid defense to get off to a 3-1 start. Arlington tightened up on defense last week, but that was in part due to the fact Houston is so awful. The Renegades allowed 27 or more points in each of the first 3 games, so San Antonio should be able to move the ball well against Arlington.

Against the spread

If you prefer, the BRAHMAS -2.5 (-105) are also a solid play on the road. It would be silly to bet each thing together. Laying the points is much cheaper, and all San Antonio has to do is win by 3 points. You might prefer the moneyline, though, as San Antonio won its only previous road game by a single point in Week 2 at Memphis.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-115) is the lean in this Week 5 Lone Star State matchup, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over-Under has split in 4 games for Arlington, including 1-1 at home. The Under is 3-1 for San Antonio this season, though, while cashing in both XFL meetings last season between these 2 sides.

Birmingham Stallions at Arlington Renegades odds, picks and predictions

Beat the sportsbook: Analyzing Saturday’s Birmingham Stallions at Arlington Renegades odds, with expert UFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The UFL opens the season Saturday with the champions of the 2 leagues that merged to form it. The Birmingham Stallions, who are coming off back-to-back USFL championships, are on the road facing the Arlington Renegades, who won the XFL championship last year. Kickoff from Choctaw Stadium is at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Stallions vs. Renegades odds and make our expert football picks and predictions.

The Stallions went 21-3 in 2 seasons and postseasons. They have a new QB in Matt Corrall, who spent 2 seasons in the NFL. They also added WR Amari Rodgers, who spent 3 seasons in the NFL as a return specialist for the Green Bay Packers.

The Renegades went 4-6 in the regular season but got hot in the playoffs and won the championship. They added former NFL 1st-round pick DE Vic Beasley to their defense. He last played in the NFL in 2020 but played well last season for the Vegas Vipers in the XFL.

Stallions at Renegades picks and predictions

Prediction

Stallions 20, Renegades 16

Moneyline

With the inaugural game in a new league with teams from 2 previous leagues, this is a tough one to pick.

However, you have to like Birmingham (-200), as they dominated the USFL 2 consecutive seasons with 2 different starting quarterbacks, especially going against a team that had a losing record before the postseason.

As the Stallions have been so good for so long, I won’t open the season picking an outright underdog to beat them, but -200 odds aren’t any good to wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

Thus far, there are no good trends to go by.

However, if you look at Birmingham’s 2023, of their 10 total wins between the regular season and postseason, 9 were by at least 4 points.

With little else to go by in a new league, I’m leaning on the favorite.

BET STALLIONS -3.5 (-110). 

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

Birmingham’s season opener last season finished with 37 points, and the championship had 40 points. They only had 3 total games not reach at least 42 total points.

Arlington scored more than 18 points only twice in the regular season last year in the XFL but scored 26 and 35 in the semifinals and championship games.

In a new league with no preseason, expect things to start slowly.

BET UNDER 41.5 (-110).

Renegades vs. Defenders picks and predictions

Prediction

Defenders 32, Renegades 22

Moneyline

The Defenders enter the title game having won 4 games in a row while the Renegades have 2 wins in their last 6.

The Defenders were the highest-scoring team in the XFL at 29.8 points per game while the Renegades were 8th averaging 14.6.

The Renegades scored 26 in their win over Houston and 26 against the Defenders, but in 6 games they did not score more than 16.

The Defenders have been the best team in the league all season and should win the title, but at -275 on the moneyline, it isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

D.C. won its semifinal game by 16 points, but the Defenders won their final 4 games of the regular season by no more than 2 points.

Four of the Renegades’ 6 losses were by at least 9 points.

BET DEFENDERS -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The last 9 games for the Defender have had at least 48 total points while only one of the Renegades’ games all season reached 48 points and that was against the Defenders.

BET OVER 47.5 (-115).

Arlington Renegades at Houston Roughnecks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arlington Renegades at Houston Roughnecks odds and lines, with expert XFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arlington Renegades (4-6) and the Houston Roughnecks (7-3) meet Saturday in the XFL South Division Championship. Kickoff from TDECU Stadium in Houston is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN/ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Renegades vs. Roughnecks odds, and make our expert XFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Renegades backed into the playoffs after San Antonio lost a heartbreaker at home against DC in Week 10. Arlington lost 4 of its final 5 games, including a 25-9 setback as a 1-point favorite last week against Houston at home. The Under cashed in both meetings against Houston this season.

The Roughnecks won the final 3 games of the regular season while covering the spread in their past 2 outings. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall. Houston went 2-0 straight up and against the spread against Arlington this season, winning the first meeting 23-14 as a 4.5-point favorite as the Under (39.5) connected in Week 2.

Renegades at Roughnecks picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughnecks 24, Arlington 12

Moneyline

The Roughnecks (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite risky despite that they have beaten the Renegades in both regular-season meetings.

PASS, and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

The ROUGHNECKS -6.5 (-110) are a solid play worth pursuing rather aggressively, as long as the line doesn’t move to a flat 7 or 7.5.

Houston has won and covered both of its regular-season games against the Renegades, and it went 4-1 ATS in 5 home outings this season.

Arlington was a respectable 3-2 ATS in 5 games on the road, but it did fail to cover in its trip to Houston back in Week 2.

Over/Under

UNDER 41.5 (-110) is worth playing in this trilogy matchup.

The Under cashed in each of the regular season meetings, with Arlington managing just 11.5 points per game. The Under went 8-2 overall for the Renegades, while the Under was 3-1 in the past 4 home games for the Roughnecks.

Houston Roughnecks at Arlington Renegades odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Roughnecks at Arlington Renegades Week 10 odds and lines, with expert XFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The final day of the XFL regular season starts with the Houston Roughnecks (6-3) on the road against the Arlington Renegades (4-5). Kickoff is Sunday at 3 p.m. ET at Choctaw Stadium (ESPN/ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Roughnecks vs. Renegades odds, and make our expert XFL picks, predictions and bets.

The two teams met in Week 2 with the Roughnecks winning 23-14 as 4.5-point home favorites.

The Roughnecks have won 2 straight games and are coming off a 28-21 home win over the Vegas Vipers, covering the 6.5-point spread as favorites. They started the season 4-0, lost 3 straight and since bounced back with 2 consecutive wins. They have locked up the South Division title and will host the Renegades again next week in an XFL semifinal.

The Renegades have lost 3 of their last 4 but clinched 2nd place in the division. They are coming off a 28-26 road loss in overtime to the D.C. Defenders, but they covered as 8.5-point underdogs.

Roughnecks at Renegades picks and predictions

Prediction

Roughnecks 20, Renegades 18

Moneyline

The Renegades are 2-2 at home this season, while the Roughnecks are 2-2 on the road.

The Renegades scored a season-high 26 points last week in their loss to the Defenders.

Even with the 26-point outburst, the Renegades still have scored the fewest points in the league with 137.

The Roughnecks have allowed an average of 15.2 points per game in their 6 wins.

Here it almost doesn’t matter whether you bet the money line or the spread. the price is almost the same.

Expecting a Houston win, it is a slightly better price here, so BET ROUGHNECKS (-105).

Against the spread

This game is essentially a pick-em.

With only a 1-point spread, the worst outcome is a push if you bet the Renegades and they only win by one.

But the price is -110 to bet the Roughnecks to cover (not lose by more than 1) and the price to bet them to win outright is -105. Save the $5 and bet the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

Only 2 of the Renegades’ games this season combined for more than 40 points, Week 1 and last week.

Only 4 of 9 games for Houston have had totals higher than this games’ projection and when the two teams met in Week 2, they had 37 points.

BET UNDER 41.5 (-110).

Arlington Renegades at DC Defenders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Arlington Renegades at DC Defenders odds and lines, with expert XFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arlington Renegades (4-4) and the DC Defenders (7-1) meet Sunday in a Week 9 matchup. Kickoff from Audi Field is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN2/ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Renegades vs. Defenders odds, and make our expert XFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Renegades remain in the hunt for a playoff spot, although they no longer can win the South Division after the Houston Roughnecks posted a Week 9 victory Saturday to lock up the title. With a win, Arlington can clinch a postseason berth.

Arlington is coming off a big 18-16 win in Orlando last week, just its 2nd cover in 8 tries. The defense has allowed 16 or fewer points in 3 of the last 4 outings, and the Under is a healthy 7-1 for the Renegades this season.

The Defenders bounced back after a shocking loss to the winless Guardians in Week 7, posting a 34-33 road win against the Seattle Sea Dragons. Defense has been suspect lately, allowing 35.0 points per game (PPG) in the last 2 outings.

The DC offense is humming lately, however, going for 28 or more points in 6 straight games, cashing the Over in each outing.

Renegades at Defenders picks and predictions

Prediction

Defenders 29, Renegades 23

Moneyline

The Defenders (-400) will cost you 4 times your potential return, and that’s too expensive given how poorly DC’s defense has played. They’re not defending anybody!

The Renegades (+300) are playing for a playoff spot, while DC already has clinched the North Division. If anything, Arlington would be worth a flier for a chance to triple up.

PASS.

Against the spread

The RENEGADES +8.5 (-110) are a solid value. Arlington is 2-1 ATS in the last 3 as an underdog, while the Defenders -8.5 (-110) failed to cover its only instance as a favorite of 7 or more points this season. In fact, DC lost that game outright against Orlando in Week 7 as a 9.5-point favorite.

Over/Under

OVER 41.5 (-110) is the play. Arlington’s offense is a concern, as it hasn’t had more than 18 points since a Week 1 win over Vegas. In fact, the Renegades are averaging just 12.7 PPG in the last 7 games, while cashing the Under in 7 of 8 games.

However, DC’s defense has yielded 35.0 PPG in the last 2 games, and it has allowed 18 or more points in all but 1 outing this season. Plus, the Defenders lead the XFL with 241 points, or 30.1 PPG.

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).

Seattle Sea Dragons at Arlington Renegades odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Seattle Sea Dragons at Arlington Renegades Week 7 odds and lines, with expert XFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The XFL kicks off Week 7 on Friday with the Seattle Sea Dragons (4-2) on the road against the Arlington Renegades (3-3). Kickoff is 7 p.m. ET at Choctaw Stadium (FX/ESPN+).

The Sea Dragons have won 4 games in a row after an 0-2 start to the season. Last week, they beat the Orlando Guardians on the road 26-19, but failed to cover the 9.5-point spread as the favorites.

Sea Dragons at Renegades picks and predictions

Prediction

Sea Dragons 20, Renegades 13

Moneyline

The Sea Dragons are streaking right now with 4 wins a row. The Renegades are the league’s lowest-scoring team and have scored only 6 total TDs.

The Sea Dragons are playing too well to think that the Renegades can pull off the upset, but the line is too pricey to bet on the Seattle.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Sea Dragons’ last 3 wins were all by at least 5 points while the Renegades’ 3 losses have all been by at least 6 points.

BET SEA DRAGONS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Since scoring 22 points in Week 1, the Renegades have not had more than 14 in a game and have not had more than 12 in their last 4 games. They have not had a game with more than 37 total points since Week 1.

The Sea Dragons have had 4 of 6 games finish with 38 or more points, but 2 of the last 3 have not reached 38.

BET UNDER 37.5 (-110).

Brahmas at Renegades picks and predictions

Prediction

Renegades 15, Brahmas 11

Moneyline

The Renegades are 2-0 at home and they beat the Brahmas last week on the road. However, they have not scored more than 14 points in a game since their season opener.

The Brahmas have lost 3 straight games and have not scored more than 13 points in that streak. But the value is better on the spread, so PASS on the moneyline.

Against the spread

While I like the Renegades to win, there is still some action worth your time on the spread. The Renegades have not won a game by more than 2 points this season. Only once have the Brahmas lost by fewer than 3 points and that was last week at home in their loss to Arlington.

The Brahmas are down a quarterback and their backup is hobbled.

BET RENEGADES -3 (-105).

Over/Under

The Renegades have not scored more than 14 points since the opener and the Brahmas have scored more than 15 points only once. Their matchup last week had only 22 points.

BET UNDER 32.5 (-105).
