Arlington Renegades vs. Houston Roughnecks Betting Analysis
Renegades Looking For Offense
The Arlington Renegades come into this game having scored just 12 total offensive touchdowns during the regular season. Seven of those touchdowns were on the ground, and Arlington will try to establish the run in this matchup.
Arlington was a team that was disruptive on defense throughout the year, as they forced ten fumbles and also had 13 interceptions. The Renegades still gave up a ton of points this season, but they have proven that they can create turnovers which will be huge in this matchup.
Houston Can Do it All
The Houston Roughnecks don’t appear to have any real flaws, and that’s the reason that they went 7-3 during the regular season. Houston had 58 tackles for loss this season, and they have a defensive front that can do some damage to opposing quarterbacks.
The Roughnecks were third in the league in total offensive touchdowns this season, and they can be a nightmare to stop once they get on a roll. Houston likes to rack up the yards through the air, and they will be looking to put on a show early in this game.
Updates
The XFL doesn’t have to report on injuries as well as the NFL does, and that makes it harder to see what’s going on. You want to keep a close eye on the injury report, but you might have to make a Renegades vs Roughnecks betting pick without having all of the top information.

Arlington Renegades vs. Houston Roughnecks Betting Prediction
Even though the XFL standings don’t have any impact on what takes place in the postseason, there was a pretty big gap between these teams. Houston dominated the regular season matchups against Arlington, and they will have home field advantage in this one.
Arlington hasn’t proven that they can score enough points to win games, and that’s going to be a major problem in this game. Houston is a team that can win games in a variety of ways, and they are going to roll in this one.
- Bet on the Houston Roughnecks -6.0 to win the game and head to the championship.
