The Houston Roughnecks will host the LA Wildcats in their 2020 XFL season opener Saturday at 5 p.m. ET on FOX. Below, we’ll preview the Roughnecks’ 2020 season, with a look at their roster and 2020 XFL Championship odds.
Head coach and general manager June Jones has been around, most recently serving as a coach with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL, but also as the head coach of the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors in college and the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. Chris Miller will serve as the offensive coordinator, while Ted Cottrell will be the defensive coordinator.
Houston Roughnecks 2020 XFL Championship odds
Odds via BetMGM, last updated February 6 at 10:10 a.m. ET.
Outright Winner: +750
The Roughnecks are among the longshots to hoist the championship trophy after the 2020 season at +750. This means a $10 XFL futures bet on the Guardians would fetch a profit of $75 if they were to win the championship game April 26.
Only the St. Louis Battlehawks +1000, and the Seattle Dragons +1100, have longer odds for the title.
