LAS VEGAS – XFL Week 7 presents plenty of value in the matchups between the San Antonio Brahmas and the Las Vegas Vipers. The Las Vegas Vipers are home favorites against the Brahmas, with a total of 39 points for the over/under.
Even though San Antonio has been struggling on offense, the 1-5 Las Vegas Vipers have no business being the favorite. The Vipers sole win this season came in week five against the only team without a win, the Orlando Guardians.
The Brahmas defense has been excellent, averaging less than 15 points allowed per game to opponents. In addition to limiting offenses, the Vipers poor defense gives them a great opportunity to cash their +130 money line odds on XFL sportsbooks.
The Las Vegas Vipers are the second-worst scoring defense in the XFL, allowing over 27 points per game to opponents. The Orlando Guardians are the only team worse, giving up just under 30 points a game.
In the Brahmas matchup week two against the Guardians, they cruised to a 30-12 victory. The Vipers present a similar matchup on both sides of the ball, with a slight edge over the Guardians offensively.
The Brahmas impressive defense is key to their +130 money line odds, but also provides value to the under at 39. They have only allowed one team to score over 20 points on them all season; it was the Houston Roughnecks, who scored 22 on the stout Brahmas defense.
San Antonio ranks first in the league in tackles for loss and points allowed this season, giving value to the under of 39.0 on football betting sites.
BattleHawks at Roughnecks Over 44.5
A battle between two 4-2 teams, the Houston Roughnecks and the St. Louis BattleHawks, will feature a high-scoring affair. The projected total is set at 44.5 points.
The Houston Roughnecks and the St. Louis BattleHawks are ranked first and second, respectively, in total touchdowns this season. Both teams specialize in an air-raid offense that has had success against teams across the XFL.
This over has hit in two of Houston’s last three games, with the Roughnecks contributing 44 points towards the over in their win against the Guardians.
BattleHawks quarterback A.J. McCarron and Roughnecks quarterback Brandon Silvers both rank in the top three in passing yards. McCarron leads the XFL in passing touchdowns with 14, three more than any other quarterback.
These two teams score a lot of points and are more than capable of combing for over 44.5 points. The Roughnecks and BattleHawks square off at 2 p.m. on Sunday in what expects to be a shootout.
