Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:45 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Defenders 24, Battlehawks 21

Moneyline (?)

The Battlehawks (-223) are slight road favorites over the DEFENDERS (+175) on Sunday afternoon. While St. Louis has lost just one game this season, they have shown that they can struggle to defend the pass against competent quarterback play. Considering the odds, I like the Defenders to win outright at home to pick up their third win of the season.

Against the Spread (?)

The DEFENDERS (+4.5) are more than a field goal underdog at home on Sunday afternoon. While Cardale Jones has struggled over the last two weeks, he has shown to be a highly effective quarterback at home this season. Look for the Defenders offense to bounce back this week as they should be able to keep this close, if not win.

Over/Under (?)

The total for this Week 5 matchup is set at 38.5, which is the second-lowest of the week. While both teams have good defenses, both Cardale Jones and Jordan Ta’amu have shown flashes of brilliance this season. Expect both quarterbacks to play well and for the OVER (-106) to hit in Washington, D.C. on Sunday afternoon.

Houston Roughnecks at Tampa Bay Vipers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing the Roughnecks at Vipers Week 3 matchup, with XFL betting odds, picks and best bets

The XFL West-leading Houston Roughnecks (2-0) are heading east to take on the Tampa Bay Vipers (0-2) Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET from Raymond James Stadium.

Roughnecks at Vipers: Week 3 preview, betting trends and notes

  • Houston leads the XFL with nine total touchdowns, while Tampa Bay ranks last, having scored just once in two games (a defensive TD).
  • The Vipers’ passing attack has been a disaster with three different QBs getting playing time, but their ground game has been effective. Tampa Bay averages 145.5 rushing yards per game.
  • The Roughnecks do a great job protecting the football, committing just one turnover this season. Tampa Bay has given it away six times thus far.
  • The Roughnecks are 1-1 against the spread this season, failing to cover last week in their 28-24 win over Seattle.
  • Tampa Bay was a road favorite in each of its first two games but lost outright both times.

Roughnecks at Vipers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Roughnecks 27, Vipers 13

Moneyline (?)

The Roughnecks are clearly the better team at this point in the season, getting excellent play out of QB P.J. Tucker. They lead the league with nine touchdowns and, while their defense has been average, the offense is rolling.

The Vipers can’t find the end zone on offense and there’s little reason to believe they’ll improve drastically this weekend. Take the ROUGHNECKS (-286) to win outright. This game won’t be close.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Houston to win would return a profit of $3.50.

Against the Spread (?)

The Roughnecks are favored by 6.5 points on the road, making this the first time Tampa Bay will be the underdog. The Roughnecks are 1-1 ATS but have the offensive to blow the Vipers out.

Take ROUGHNECKS (-110) to cover the 6.5-point margin with ease.

Over/Under (?)

The over/under is 45.5, which is a big number considering the Vipers have scored 12 total points in two games. The total has gone over in one of the Roughnecks’ two games after their 28-24 win last week.

Because of the Vipers’ ineptitude on offense, and their uncertainty at QB, take UNDER 45.5 (-121) in this one.

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.
