Undefeated DC is the largest favorite of the week, laying 9 points to winless Orlando. The Defenders and Guardians contest is the second game of Saturday’s twin bill, with San Antonio and Vegas providing the appetizer.

Odds as of March 31 at DraftKings Sportsbook.Â
San Antonio Brahmas vs Vegas Vipers Picks
We’ve had plenty of success-fading offense in San Antonio games, and there’s no reason to stop now. The Brahmas are the league’s second-lowest scoring team and have put up a grand total of 25 points over their last two games.
Granted, that was against a defensive-minded Arlington squad, but they’ve exceeded 15 points only once all season and that was against the lowly Guardians.

Also working in favor of the under is the Brahmas’ strong defense. Per the XFL stats, San Antonio has allowed the fewest points, while leading the league in tackles for loss and ranking third in sacks.
That spells trouble for Las Vegas, who are fresh off an embarrassing 29-6 defeat to St. Louis. The Vipers can’t seem to decide who to trust under center between Luis Perez and Brett Hundley and you know the old saying. If you have two quarterbacks you really don’t have one.
Pick: Under 38.5 (-110)
DC Defenders vs Orlando Guardians Picks
If there was ever a spot for a DC letdown, this would be it. The Defenders just took down Houston in a Monday night showdown between the league’s top-two teams, and now have to face Orlando on short rest.
On paper, this is a colossal mismatch. DC is the XFL Championship odds favorite, and number one in points for and point differential. The Guardians meanwhile, are last in points against and point differential. The Defenders rank second in both scoring defense and takeaways, while Orlando has generated the fewest turnovers.
XFL Championship Odds
| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| DC Defenders | +110 |
| Houston Roughnecks | +260 |
| St. Louis BattleHawks | +500 |
| Seattle Sea Dragons | +600 |
| Arlington Renegades | +1000 |
| San Antonio Brahmas | +1400 |
| Vegas Vipers | +15000 |
| Orlando Guardians | +30000 |
But the Guardians have started to show life recently. Since the return of Quinen Dormady under center, Orlando has been a tough out. They’ve covered in back-to-back games, with Dormady producing 499 passing yards and 2 TD (with no interceptions) in those contests.
This game wreaks of an Orlando cover, similar to those NFL games on Sunday that burst the public’s parlays. Bettors seem to agree, as the line has already dropped a full point from its opener.
Pick: Orlando Guardians +9 (-110)
St. Louis BattleHawks vs Houston Roughnecks Picks
This should be the most exciting contest of the slate. St. Louis and Houston enter play ranked third and second respectively in scoring, with each team boasting one of the league’s top-three passers (AJ McCarron and Brandon Silvers).

Once considered the strongest defense in the league, Wade Phillips’ Houston unit has been exposed recently. They surrendered 37 points last week to DC and 21 points the week prior to Seattle. Those are the two best offenses they’ve faced so far, suggesting their early season numbers were simply a product of a cupcake schedule.
The BattleHawks may be a strong offensive team, but they are very leaky on defense. They enter play ranked middle of the pack in scoring defense but have yielded an average of 27 points per game in their three contests versus top-end offenses.
Pick: Over 44.5 (-110)
