With only days remaining until the onset of the 2024 United Football League season, our staff was beginning to get worried about the lack of UFL betting lines and futures available at online sportsbooks.
After three full weeks of play, betting lines for UFL games are now commonplace at each site we recommend here at XFLB. Also, after three weeks, some teams are already pulling ahead of the pack and positioning themselves for the postseason.
USFL Conference Standings
- Birmingham Stallions 3-0
- Michigan Panthers 2-1
- Memphis Showboats 1-2
- Houston Roughnecks 0-3
XFL Conference Standings
- St. Louis Battlehawks 2-1
- San Antonio Brahmas 2-1
- D.C. Defenders 2-1
- Arlington Renegades 0-3
The top-rated sportsbooks are offering UFL betting lines for what will be a make-or-break week for a few teams. Here is a breakdown of each Week 4 UFL matchup.
Memphis Showboats vs. St Louis Battlehawks Betting Line
- Spread: Memphis +6.5, St. Louis -6.5
- Moneyline: Memphis +270, St. Louis -325
- Over/Under: 46.0
The St. Louis Battlehawks are involved in a three-way tie for first place in the XFL Conference, while the 1-2 Memphis Showboats are third in the USFL. The best-reviewed online sportsbooks agree that the Battlehawks are a nearly touchdown favorite at home this Saturday.
DC Defenders vs. Birmingham Stallions Betting Line
- Point Spread: Defenders +9.0, Stallions +9.0
- Moneyline: Defenders +325, Stallions -425
- Over/Under: 46.5
The marquee matchup in the UFL this week involves both conference leaders. The Birmingham Stallions are the two-time defending USFL Champions and currently 3-0 in 2024.
DC lost to the Renegades in the 2023 XFL Championship Game and is involved in the previously mentioned three-way tie for the lead in the XFL Conference. Despite that excellence, Birmingham is a heavy favorite to beat the Defenders by at least 9 points.
Michigan Panthers vs. San Antonio Brahmas Betting Line
- Point Spread: Panthers EVEN, Brahmas EVEN
- Moneyline: Panthers EVEN, Brahmas EVEN
- Over/Under: 41.5
Betting on the Michigan Panthers vs. San Antonio Brahmas Game has been declared a pick’em, as both teams have an equal chance of winning. A win will maintain San Antonio’s lead in the XFL. A Panthers loss would place them in the USFL’s cellar at 1-3.
Arlington Renegades vs Houston Roughnecks Betting Line
- Point Spread: Renegades -2.5, Roughnecks +2.5
- Moneyline: Renegades -145, Roughnecks +115
- Over/Under: 46.5
Someone has to win when these two cross-state rivals meet up this Sunday. We say that jokingly, but both teams are winless and ranked at the bottom of their respective UFL Conferences.
The Arlington Renegades are the 2023 XFL Champions, but they already find themselves in a two-game in-conference hole. Regardless of who wins, both Houston and Arlington are projected as the worst two teams in the current UFL futures odds.
2024 UFL Futures After Week 3
- Birmingham Stallions +160
- St. Louis BattleHawks +250
- DC Defenders +500
- San Antonio Brahmas +600
- Michigan Panthers +1000
- Memphis Showboats +1400
- Arlington Renegades +2200
- Houston Roughnecks +3300
Don’t sleep on the Renegades and Roughnecks, though. Since the top two finishers in each conference make it to the playoffs, Arlington and Houston still have plenty of time to climb back into relevancy.
Take the 2023 Arlington season as an example. They finished 4-6 and won the title, delivering massive payouts to gamblers who wagered on their futures at midseason.
