The United Football League (UFL) now has no undefeated teams after the D.C. Defenders lost to the San Antonio Brahmas 24-18 in week four.
Even with the loss, the Defenders still sit on top of the XFL division with a 3-1 record. Alongside the Defenders are the Arlington Renegades, also with a 3-1 record. The San Antonio Brahmas currently sit at the bottom of the XFL division, with a 1-3 record following their win over the Defenders.
The Brahmas came out victorious in DC with a final score of 24-18. RB Aidan Robbins, who just joined the Brahmas, scored two touchdowns in his debut, helping his team to victory. The Defenders had a chance to tie the game at the end, but the Brahmas’ defense was able to stop the drive with just about 20 seconds remaining.

The UFL season consists of ten regular-season games followed by a two-game post-season. The top two teams in both the USFL and XFL Divisions will be awarded a conference championship game, followed by the UFL championship.
Last year was the first season of the newly conjoined spring football leagues, and the Birmingham Stallions won the championship. The Stallions are currently 3-1 and tied for first in the USFL division with the Michigan Panthers.
Betting odds for the XFL Division and the USFL indicate the Stallions are still favored to win the championship. Below are the current UFL futures from Bovada’s online sportsbook.

Betting On UFL Teams
One of the most popular ways to bet on UFL teams is with game lines and futures. Once the playoffs arrive, we expect to see additional player and team props, but for now, most online sportsbooks only carry game lines and futures.
While the league has embraced betting on the sport with a DFS partnership, many fans choose to bet with legal online sportsbooks for their bigger bonuses, reward programs, and betting options. In addition to UFL lines, online sportsbooks also host odds from other popular football leagues, including the NFL, NCAA, and CFL.
