St. Louis Battlehawks vs. Vegas Vipers | Battlehawks -3 (-105)
Though the Defenders and Roughnecks are the clear-cut top two teams, the Battlehawks are arguably the best 3-2 team in the league. Their two losses this year have come against the Defenders, and both were by eight points or less. Meanwhile, St. Louis has won by an average of six points in their three victories this year. Furthermore, they had their best win of the year two weeks ago against the Arlington Renegades, winning 24-11.
On the other hand, the Vipers are coming off their first win this season in Week 5, a three-point victory at home over the winless Guardians. Now they face a St. Louis team that has played well. The Vipers have lost by an average of eight points per game this year. Furthermore, Vegas has lost two of their matchups by 12 or more points. While both contests were against the Defenders, bettors shouldn't have much confidence in the Vipers.
This matchup isn't the most exciting on paper. However, we should expect a somewhat easy win for St. Louis. The Battlehawks have played well except for their matchups against the Defenders. Meanwhile, the Vipers have one victory this year against the only winless team in the XFL. This matchup won't be a blowout but expect the Battlehawks to cover the three-point spread on Saturday.
