XFL Championship Odds Heading into Week 2. By Tristan Jung Feb 10, 2020, 12:13 PM. XFL Week 2 Betting Opening Odds New York at DC (-5.5, Total 48.5) Tampa Bay (-2.5, Total 46.5) at Seattle Dallas (-4.5, Total 47) at Los Angeles Houston (-8.5, Total 51.5) at Houston Through the first week of XFL action, I was on my way to a 3-1 weekend but Dallas just did not show up in its opener and I finished 2-2. Jan 20, 2021 The XFL has until February 28th to respond. Unlikely to ever actually go to a court trial, but if it does, there will be a discovery hearing, and the NFLP has to prove that the XFL designed this logo with the intent to confuse the public, and piggyback off the goodwill established by the updated 1993 logo of the New England Patriots.

It’s a busy week for sports fans as we’re moving into Week 2 of the XFL season. The NBA will be on a break with their All-Star festivities, NASCAR is back with the Daytona 500, and college basketball, the NHL and the UFC are all on the menu.

Let’s take a closer look at the best NJ online sports bets of the week, featuring XFL Week 2 odds and picks.

If you thought football season was over, it’s not. The return of the XFL allows football bettors to keep on keeping on, even though the Super Bowl has come and gone.

Xfl week 2 odds

The first week of XFL action was exciting and, after strong performances by the Guardians and the Defenders, these two teams will match up in what might be the game of the week.

The Defenders are laying 5 points in this spot, and while I’m not sure who wins this game, I am also looking at the under, when more XFL Week 2 odds become available at DraftKings Sportsbook.

  • The Defenders defense looked great last week, stymying the Seattle Dragons on a number of occasions.
  • Elijah Campbell had one pick-six and nearly had a second with a ball that hit him right in the chest.
  • Campbell also had a blocked punt.
  • The Defenders got a boost from the pick-six and the touchdown off of the blocked punt, but the offense was just OK. They finished with only 303 yards of total offense.

As for the Guardians, they pulled one of the bigger upsets of Week 1, not only covering as a dog but winning outright. They held the Tampa Bay Vipers to just 3 points – the worst output of the week – and the Vipers were expected to be good. Their regular-season win total was the highest on the board at 7.5 entering the season.

With two good defenses on the field, I’ll be expecting an under in this spot.

Pick: DC Defenders at -5

New York Islanders at Nashville Predators

Date: Thursday, February 13th

Nashville will welcome back a familiar face on Thursday when former head coach Barry Trotz returns with his new team, the Islanders. Trotz has done a marvelous job in his time with Isles while the Predators have been stumbling.

The Preds do have home-ice advantage in this spot, but I don’t know how much of an edge that will be.

  • They’re just 11-11-4 (11-15) at home this season and they’ve dropped five of their last six on home ice.
  • Meanwhile, the Islanders are a healthy 15-9-2 on the road.
  • On top of that, the teams appear to be heading in opposite directions.

The Isles had won four of six heading into their Tuesday meeting with the Philadelphia Flyers.

  • The Predators are just 8-10-1 in their last 19 contests.
  • The Preds are struggling at the offensive end of the ice right as they’re averaging just 1.67 goals per game in February, which ranks 28th in the NHL.

That doesn’t sound like it will bode well for them against the Islanders, who rank fifth in goals allowed this season (per game) and save percentage.

Pick: Islanders

Boston Red Sox Regular-Season Win Total

Now that the dust has settled from the Mookie Betts-David Price blockbuster, DraftKings has opened up the MLB 2020 regular-season win totals and one under that I like is the Red Sox.

Some might see this as an overreaction to the news, but I don’t see this team being much better than .500 next season.

  1. To start, Betts is an MVP-caliber player as he won the award in 2018 when the Red Sox won the World Series.
  2. And while many people feel like Price was a good salary dump here (he was), Price was a big key in the Red Sox World Series run in the playoffs.
  3. Sure, he’s not who he used to be, but the bigger issue is who takes over for him?
  • The Red Sox will still have a solid batting lineup, but let’s look at their pitching rotation: Chris Sale (if healthy), Eduardo Rodriguez, Nathan Eovaldi and Martin Perez.
  • If Sale is healthy, this is an OK unit. If he can’t stay healthy, this could be among the worst in the Majors.
  • There’s also nothing special about the Red Sox bullpen.

Xfl Week 2 Dfs

Beyond that, think the team had to fire manager Alex Cora because of the Houston Astros scandal.

Now the team is looking for a manager, traded a generational talent because of a salary dump, and had a very quiet offseason in terms of free agents. It’s hard to expect this team to win 86 games. They’re not better than they were last year when they won 84.

Pick: Under 85.5

Other Things To Watch This Week

UFC Fight Night: Anderson vs. Blachowicz 2 – Jan Blachowicz had a rough start to his UFC career, losing four of his first six bouts – one of which was to Corey Anderson. Blachowicz has turned his career around, though, winning six of his last seven. He’ll look for revenge on Anderson, who has won four straight fights.

No. 23 Creighton at No. 10 Seton Hall – We’ll have a massive Big East showdown on Wednesday night when the Bluejays faceoff with the Pirates in a Top 25 matchup. Seton Hall is 3-2 against Top 25 teams this season after beating No. 10 Villanova 70-64 on Saturday.

Daytona 500 – NASCAR fans, it’s time to rev your engines. We’ve already seen the Busch Clash, and we’ll have a couple of more exhibition races with the Bluegreen Vacations Duels, but then we’re off to the Daytona 500. All of the best drivers on the NASCAR series will be at Daytona International Speedway for the biggest and first race of the year.

Nobody really knew what to expect from XFL’s opening weekend, but boy, were we in for a delight.

Between the East and West Divisions, it would be the boys out East who would reign supreme, with three of the teams in the division coming out of the gate with a 1-0 record. For the West, it was actually quite a disappointment, with three of their squads beginning at 0-1.

As far as who the best looking team was, you’ve certainly got to side with the Houston Roughnecks, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Their offense was certainly the best in Week 1 with a total of five touchdowns, along with quarterback P.J. Walker shooting up as the early favorite to win the MVP of the XFL after he would achieve a four-touchdown performance in his league debut.

Coming in as the preseason favorites to win the 2020 XFL championship, the Dallas Renegades were one of the disappointments coming out of the West, and were probably the biggest disappointment in the entire league with dismal play against the St. Louis Battlehawks in a 15-9 loss. Before the game, the Renegades were listed as a near double-digit favorite at 9.5 points, however, they would only score nine — it was pretty embarrassing to say the least after all of the hype.

Last week here at The Sports Geek, we would just predict one game in Week 1, and that would be the contest between the DC Defenders and Seattle Dragons. We would accurately predict the Defenders in that game, putting us at 1-0 to start out the season.

After a test trial and a successful Week 1, we’re now prepared to fully hop into the XFL and give you our picks for the entire slate of Week 2. Let’s go!

Before we start though, here are my XFL power rankings entering Week 2:

This week, there are two matchups that feature undefeated teams taking on one another, and the contest between the New York Guardians and DC Defenders happens to be one of them.

Xfl

In their first game of the year against the Seattle Dragons, the Defenders would look absolutely spectacular on their home field, led by Cardale Jones who would be the top quarterback in the league in Week 1 with the top PFF grade of 90.8. Against the Dragons, he would put up 235 passing yards and two touchdowns on the stat sheet, and with no turnovers attached.

It wasn’t just the offense putting in work for the Defenders either, with the defense making a bundle of plays, and this would include interceptions from Bradley Sylve and Rahim Moore, with Sylve returning his for a touchdown. DC’s special teams would be productive as well, recording a blocked punt that they would tally another six points with after returning it for a touchdown.

With the defense, they would make some nice plays, but they would definitely expose themselves as being vulnerable, and the preseason reports about them being strong were a bit inaccurate — they would give up a total of three touchdowns to Seattle.

For the New York Guardians, they looked very well-rounded last week in their contest against the Tampa Bay Vipers, clocking the Vipers in a 23-3 decision. In total, they would score three touchdowns against Tampa Bay, while allowing no touchdowns into their end zone.

With that being said, there’s certainly plenty of work for the offense of the Guardians. Their quarterback Matt McGloin would throw for the fewest yards in the entire XFL, and their running back Darius Victor would have a dismal day with just 32 rushing yards.

Plain and simple, the defense got New York that win, so we’ll see if that can continue their dominance this weekend against the Defenders, or if they were just taking advantage of a bad Vipers offense. And we’ll certainly find that out on Saturday with Cardale Jones being the quarterback for the DC Defenders, who is a much better quarterback than whatever Tampa Bay’s situation is.

Overall, this should be a pretty entertaining game to watch, and a good one to start off our XFL weekend. I have it being a close game, with the DC Defenders pulling out the victory for an undefeated 2-0 record to begin the season.

BETTING PREDICTION: DC Defenders 29, New York Guardians 25

Xfl Week 2 Odds Predictions

Tampa Bay Vipers at Seattle Dragons

  • BETTING ODDS: Tampa Bay Vipers -2.5 (-115), Seattle Dragons +2.5 (-105)
  • WHEN: Saturday, February 15, 5:00 PM ET
  • WHERE: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WA
  • TELEVISION: FOX

Both the Tampa Bay Vipers and Seattle Dragons have started out their 2020 campaigns in the hole at 0-1, though they each would lose in different fashions.

With Seattle, they wouldn’t win their game against the DC Defenders, but they would look solid putting up three touchdowns, while allowing just two scores against them defensively — the other two TD’s against them would come from a blocked punt and the other was a returned interception. They would lose the game, 31-19, but it was much closer than what the scoreboard said.

What would ultimately cost the Dragons would be their three turnovers, with two being interceptions and the other being a fumble, and if you include the touchdown that was returned after a blocked punt, that was four. If the careless play wasn’t there in Week 1 for Seattle, they may have achieved an upset over DC. We’ll see if there’s any improvement in Week 2.

As far as the Tampa Bay Vipers are concerned, they would have an absolutely dismal game last weekend against the New York Guardians, losing by an embarrassing 23-3 score. Out of the entire league, there were two teams that wouldn’t score any points on offense, and the Vipers would be one of those teams. On top of that, they would also allow three touchdowns to be put up against them on the board.

Tampa’s quarterback Aaron Murray was horrendous with no touchdowns and two interceptions, which altogether would accumulate a lowly 45.1 QB rating. And as a matter of fact, it was the lowest all across the XFL in Week 1.

The Vipers would eventually move to their backup quarterback in Quinton Flowers, who is actually listed as their running back on the roster. Tampa Bay seemed to be doing well with Flowers at quarterback, but for some reason, the Vipers would go back to Murray — some questionable decision-making there, but we can just blame the Week 1 jitters, right?

Out of all of the games this weekend, the Tampa Bay Vipers and Seattle Dragons have the slimmest spread in the betting odds, and it makes perfect sense of why. Though the Dragons looked incredibly so much better than the Vipers last weekend, it’s hard to imagine Tampa being that bad again with that many turnovers — or maybe they will be, maybe they’re just that bad. They certainly looked like it.

Give me the Seattle Dragons over the Tampa Bay Vipers in an ugly-looking game.

BETTING PREDICTION: Seattle Dragons 19, Tampa Bay Vipers 8

Dallas Renegades at Los Angeles Wildcats

  • BETTING ODDS: Dallas Renegades -4.5 (-110), Los Angeles Wildcats +4.5 (-110)
  • WHEN: Sunday, February 16, 3:00 PM ET
  • WHERE: Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson, CA
  • TELEVISION: ABC

Not only is this a fascinating contest between power metropolitans Dallas and Los Angeles, but also because both teams are entering this game with ugly defeats in Week 1 — who will recover for the win?

Labeled as the XFL championship favorite in the preseason, the Renegades would do nothing but disappoint after all of the hype. Offensively, they weren’t able to punch in a single touchdown, and they would score nine points total with just three field goals. Their defense, on the other hand, wasn’t too bad, allowing just two touchdowns against them.
When the smoke cleared though, Dallas would suffer the 15-9 loss to the St. Louis BattleHawks. In the Renegades defense, however, they would be without their star quarterback Landry Jones last weekend. He’ll be active in Week 2, and you can certainly expect a much better performance from Dallas, with their offense able to move the ball more fluently and more points coming from additional potency with Jones’ presence.

Another team who would be without their starting quarterback would be the Los Angeles Wildcats, with Josh Johnson dealing with an unknown injury. But it wouldn’t necessarily be the offense that would supply L.A. with the loss, instead, it would be the defensive side of the ball. The Wildcats would give up a mammoth-size amount of touchdowns against them with a total of five — that figure would be the most for any defense in the XFL, and it would result in the firing of defensive coordinator Pepper Johnson.

Los Angeles’ defense should perform better against Dallas after the moves that they’ve made this week, as well as their offense with Johnson being in action. However, despite the moves made, you still have to have some concerns about the Wildcats’ defense.

He wouldn’t start last week, but Jones was listed as active for the Renegades, meaning he will definitely be the starting quarterback for Dallas this week — and with head coach Bob Stoops officially announcing it himself as well. With this being the case, I’m going to take the Dallas Renegades to rebound for their first victory of the season in Southern California.

BETTING PREDICTION: Dallas Renegades 23, Los Angeles Wildcats 16

Xfl Week 2 Odds 2020

We’ve already went over the first game this weekend that features undefeated teams squaring off, and here is the second one between the St. Louis BattleHawks and Houston Roughnecks.

St. Louis was massively effective with their rushing attack, and would run themselves all the way to the 15-9 win over the Dallas Renegades in Week 1. Their running back Matt Jones would lead the way with 85 yards off of 21 carries, and their quarterback Jordan Ta’amu would also get involved in the action, placing himself with 77 rushing yards off of nine carries. On top of that, you also had backup running back Keith Ford getting in on the mix, rushing for 26 yards off of four carries and he would also punch in a touchdown.

As far as the BattleHawks’ defense is concerned, they would have minimal problems last week as well, allowing not a single touchdown from the Renegades last week — a team who was the favorite to win the 2020 XFL championship at the beginning of the season.

— Mike Ryan (Ruiz) (@MichaelRyanRuiz) February 10, 2020

So, as you see, the St. Louis BattleHawks not only have a great offense led by a pounding rushing attack, but they also have a lock-down defense to go along with it. It’s certainly a pretty situation for the BattleHawks, as well as a dangerous combination for their opposition.

When Week 1 was all said and done, it would be the Houston Roughnecks who would claim the top spot in the betting odds for the 2020 XFL championship. What’s interesting about the offensive layout for Houston is the fact that they use four receivers on their roster, completely giving away the tight end position in the process. This plan would prove to be super effective for the Roughnecks and their quarterback P.J. Walker, who would light up the Los Angeles Wildcats with 272 passing yards and four touchdowns.

Vegas Odds Nfl Week 2

The St. Louis BattleHawks and Houston Roughnecks have completely different offenses, so that in itself will make this matchup very interesting to pay attention to, and it’ll make it a thoroughbred football battle. It should certainly be an entertaining game, and a solid one to close out what should be a successful second weekend of the XFL.
