XFL Week 8 Betting Opportunities

2023 XFL Week 8: When: Saturday, April 8 – Sunday, April 9

 

Vegas Vipers at St. Louis Battlehawks

Vipers vs Battlehawks Game Info | Updated XFL Odds
When: Saturday, April 8 at 4:00 pm ET
Where: The Dome at America’s Center, St.Louis, MO
TV / Streaming: ESPN / ESPN+

After 3 games, Vegas is, yep, 0-3. The Vipers aren’t playing well. On the surface, the team should be much better than they are.

But the Vipers have struggled to get it done. The problem appears to be on both sides of the ball. Vegas scored just 6 against D.C. in a loss. Then in week 3, the Vipers scored 26 versus Seattle but fell 30-26.

In week 3, St. Louis dropped their first this season. The Battlehawks fell 28-34 against the D.C. Defenders. D.C. is much better than Vegs. Unless something changes from now until week 8, St. Louis should have no trouble beating and covering against the Vipers.

Arlington Renegades at Orlando Guardians

Renegades vs Guardians Game Info | Updated XFL Odds
When: Saturday, April 8 at 4:00 pm ET
Where: Camping World Stadium, Orlando, FL
TV / Streaming: ESPN / ESPN+

Orlando has lost 3 straight and 2 of the losses weren’t close. In week 1, Houston blasted Orlando 33-12. Then versus San Antonio, Orlando fell 12-30.

In Orlando’s third game, they played much better. The Guardians lost but it was by a single point 10-9. Not only that, but in regards to this contest, Orlando fell to Arlington.

Arlington showed they’re not much better than the Guardians. So by XFL Week 8, Orlando could be ready to turn the tables on the Renegades.

There’s another advantage to leaning Orlando. The Guardians face Seattle and D.C. in weeks 6 and 7, which means Orlando should offer decent odds in this. For now, the home team is the play.

Houston Roughnecks at San Antonio Brahmas

Roughnecks vs Brahmas Game Info | Updated XFL Odds
When: Sunday, April 9 at 3:00 pm ET
Where: Alamodome, San Antonio, TX
TV / Streaming: ABC / ESPN+

If things stay on the same path, Houston versus San Antonio should be XFL Week 8’s most intriguing matchup. The Roughnecks are 3-0.
The Brahmas are 1-2 but there’s a caveat. San Antonio lost to St. Louis by 3 in their first game of the season. The Brahmas probably should have won that contest because San Antonio gave up 15 points in the fourth.

This a rematch from a week 3 game that Houston won easily. The Roughnecks beat the Brahmas 22-13. By week 8, both teams should have gelled. San Antonio has the advantage. So backing the Brahmas at this point make sense.

D.C. Defenders at Seattle Sea Dragons

Defenders vs Sea Dragons Game Info | Updated XFL Odds
When: Sunday, April 9 at 7:00 pm ET
Where: Lumen Field, Seattle, WA
TV / Streaming: ESPN2 / ESPN+

D.C. beat Seattle 22-18 in week 1. Like the rematch between San Antonio and Houston, the Dragons versus Defenders rematch should go to the home team.

Right now, the Defenders are the XFL’s best squad. The Sea Dragons hung with D.C. in a road game. At home, Seattle turns the tables.

XFL Week 8 Pick: Seattle Sea Dragons
