Friday Night Game:
(4-2) Seattle Sea Dragons at (3-3) Arlington Renegades
(Sea Dragons by 5 – 37.5 O/U) Seattle has been on a treat winning their past four games after a 0-2 start to the season. They have finally established themselves as the contenders we predicted them to be within the XFL North. Arlington plans to get in their way of chasing down the Defenders by the end of this season with an upset win at home. For this to happen, their defense has to play for 60 minutes and force DeNucci to make more errors than rewarding throws. Arlington could struggle to move the ball against the Sea Dragons’ defense, which makes an upset all the more unlikely… Sea Dragons by 9/Over.
Saturday Night Games
(2-4) San Antonio Brahmas at (1-5) Las Vegas Vipers
(Vipers by 2.5 – 38.5 O/U) Vipers are looking for their second win of the season, while the Brahmas are looking for their third and to keep the pressure on Houston as the season comes to a conclusion. San Antonio can play the balanced game for 60 minutes and they shouldn’t struggle to pull ahead in this contest. This should come down to another case of the Vipers’ inability to close out games, as this should be a close affair with the game decided late in the 4th quarter… Upset Special… Brahmas by 3/Over.
(6-0) DC Defenders at (06) Orlando Guardians
(Defenders by 9.5 – 45 O/U) What an ugly matchup across the board. Orlando has no chance at winning this game and will struggle to keep DC from recording a big blowout win. DC cannot enter this game treating it as such or Orlando could do the exact opposite and looks for an upset at home. Fortunately, the Defenders can stomp the Guardians even if the don’t play the perfect game this weekend… Defenders by 20/Over.
(4-2) St. Louis BattleHawks at (4-2) Houston Roughnecks
(Roughnecks by 3 – 44 O/U) St. Louis has to keep their offense moving throughout this game if they wish to pull off the upset road win. Houston will put the BattleHawks to the test on both sides of the field throughout this game. Houston has suffered two losses in a row and is ready to resume their better fortunes this season with a convincing win at home… Roughnecks by 12/Over.
