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.

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.
