Spread: Vipers -3; Total: 51; Kickoff: 2 p.m. ET on Sunday; TV: FOX; Vipers vs. Guardians Injury Report.

Dallas Renegades Odds (+250)

The favorites to win the first XFL Championship since it’s rebirth is the Dallas Renegades, led by former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops. Led by former Steelers’ quarterback Landry Jones, the Renegades have the best combination of quarterback talent and proven skill players. Expect them to be one of the last teams left by the end of the season. And at +250, they are pretty good bet to win the championship as they have a proven roster with an experienced coaching staff.

New York Guardians Odds (+350)

Coming in with the second-best odds to win the XFL Championship is the New York Guardians. Led by former Raiders’ quarterback Matt McGloin, there just isn’t a ton of reasons to be excited about this offense. It’s coached by Kevin Gilbride, who is the oldest head coach in the league. Considering passing on the Guardians to win the championship in favor of teams with more enticing odds.

Los Angeles Wildcats Odds (+450)

Led by former NFL quarterback Josh Johnson, the Wildcats may have the best overall quarterback in all of the XFL. However, a receiving corps led by former NFL washouts Nelson Spruce and Tre McBride isn’t exactly thrilling. But the Wildcats are a fun XFL futures bet based off their quarterback alone. Keep an eye on former Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman, who is playing in his first football game since winning the Senior Bowl MVP in 2016.

Tampa Bay Vipers Odds (+550)

Another fun mid-range bet is the Tampa Bay Vipers at +550. With former Bears head coach Marc Trestman leading the Vipers, they have a roster full of talent. At quarterback is former Georgia Bulldog star Aaron Murray, who also played in the AAF just a year ago. There is also several other AAF stars on this roster, such as Seantavius Jones and Rannell Hall. Considering this staff has Jerry Glanville as their defensive coordinator, they are going to be must-see TV each week.

Houston Roughnecks Odds (+750)

If you want to bet on a team that is guaranteed to have a fun offense, look no further than the Houston Roughnecks with June Jones as their head coach. Jones is one of the masterminds behind the run-and-shoot offense and will be looking to use that style of offense again in the XFL.

While the starting quarterback has yet to be named, one would assume that former NFL quarterback Connor Cook will eventually get the nod. The Roughnecks also have former NFL contributors such as Sammie Coates and Andre Williams on their roster as well. It’s also important to note that the Roughnecks don’t have a tight end on their roster. So don’t plan on them running the ball very often.

DC Defenders Odds (+750)

One of the better longshot bets is the DC Defenders at +750, as former National Championship quarterback Cardale Jones will be leading the charge. Coached by Pep Hamilton, the DC Defenders should have one of the more enjoyable offenses to watch with former NFL receivers Eli Rogers and Simmie Cobbs on the roster, as well.

St. Louis Battlehawks Odds (+1000)

At 10-1 odds to win the XFL Championship is the St. Louis Battlehawks, coached by former NFL tight end coach Jonathan Hayes. While the Battlehawks are littered with former NFL talents like Christine Michael, Matt Jones, and Marquette King, former Ole Miss quarterback Jordan Ta’amu doesn’t inspire much confidence at the team’s most important position. Consider passing on the Battleahawks’ futures odds.

Seattle Dragons Odds (+1200)

And the team with the worst odds to win the XFL Championship is the Seattle Dragos, coached by former NFL quarterback Jim Zorn. While quarterback Brandon Silvers had some success in the AAF, the lack of experience from the coaching staff and the quarterback position makes the Dragons a tough bet, even at 12-1 odds. Keep an eye on former Navy QB/RB/WR Keenan Reynolds as a possible playmaker for the Dragons.

The XFL has announced that the league will resume operations in 2022 under new ownership 🏈

Nfl Betting Odds

Set to begin immediately after the NFL season concludes, the XFL is doing its part in creating a longer football season for fans. A longer season equals more action for legal betting on the XFL - something that should be very well received despite this being an inaugural season.

Sharing its name with the defunct XFL that played a single season in 2001, the upcoming season for the revitalized XFL will introduce a cleaner, quicker approach to its predecessor and the rivaling NFL.

This guide will help sports bettors of all types capitalize on America’s newest professional football league in the inaugural 2020 season. We provided recommended XFL betting sites, the history, and the latest trends of the XFL, plus any extra information and resources needed to maximize bankroll throughout the season.

Is it legal to bet on the XFL?

Xfl Betting Odds Today

The XFL offers a unique opportunity to fans for betting.

First, like most sports, entertainment, and political wagering, Americans can gamble on outcomes in two ways: domestically and offshore. For certain fans, their home state may already allow locally licensed sports betting, meaning they can bet with a few clicks on a mobile app or by visiting their local sportsbook.

For everyone else, the second option is to gamble at offshore, online XFL betting sites. According to US federal gambling laws there are no prohibitions for placing bets at offshore sportsbooks that are operating legally within the industry.

However, what makes the XFL unique is its in-house connection to the sports betting world. League founder Vince McMahon is a minority stakeholder in DraftKings and the league has expressed an interest in running their fantasy football and betting operation through the service.

Not only that, but the league also hopes states with domestic sports betting will expand to every state that hosts a team, allowing the XFL to fully integrate sports wagering into the game.

What is the XFL?

Although it shares its name and trademark with the defunct 2001 iteration of the XFL, the 2020 revitalization of the league is all its own. On January 25, 2018, the newly formed Alpha Entertainment, a media investment conglomerate founded by McMahon, announced a revival of the XFL.

The XFL will have eight teams in its inaugural season, all of which are owned by the league, and will play over the course of a 10-week season with a two-week postseason. The XFL will not allow cheerleaders, political protests, or convicted felons because, as McMahon put it: “people don't want social and political issues coming into play when they are trying to be entertained.” However, players will not be barred from using cannabis, nor will they be tested for it.

Aside from trying to make the XFL more compact on the outside, the league’s goal is to also make their game runtimes more concise, too. Originally shooting for a two-hour window, the XFL now plans to finish their game in less than two-and-a-half hours. For comparison, a standard NFL game runs a little over three hours.

The first season of the XFL will feature eight teams, split up evenly into a Western and Eastern Conference. The league has also already started to plan their expansion, listing a future second Dallas team as the ninth squad overall.

Western Conference

The 2020 XFL draft format

Before the start of the draft in October, coaches submitted their lists of preferred quarterbacks. After the submissions, the league allocated each team one “tier 1” QB to each of the eight teams.

After the quarterback allocation, the official draft began. Done through a snake format similar to fantasy football drafts, each phase of the draft featured a different selection of specifics positions.

• Phase 1: 10 rounds for offensive skill positions (quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends)
• Phase 2: 10 rounds for offensive linemen (offensive tackles, guards, and centers)
• Phase 3: 10 rounds for the defensive front seven (defensive linemen and linebackers)
• Phase 4: 10 rounds for defensive backs (cornerbacks and safeties)
• Phase 5: 30 rounds for the open draft (any position, including special teams)

Important XFL dates

• Draft: October 15-16, 2019
• Season begins: February 8, 2020
• Championship game: April 26, 2020 - canceled

Bets defined

• Point spread- the set margin of victory needed for the favored team. (ex. Dallas -5.5; Dallas must win by 6 or more.)
• Money line- a bet solely on the winner and loser of the matchup in which odds determine the payout for the winning team. (ex. New York -300; a $300 bet on New York’s win would payout $100.)
• Over/under- the total number of points expected to be scored by one or both teams for a specific time frame. (ex. over/under 49.5 total points for Tampa Bay vs. Houston; betting on the over means a prediction of 50 or more points.)
• Prop bet- bets made on anything not directly affecting the outcome of the game. (ex. total number of times the DC quarterback is sacked.)
• Parlay- betting on multiple lines in an attempt to earn a larger payout. All bets must win for the bet to pay.
• Future- bets made as long-term predictions. (ex. Los Angeles +225 for the XFL Championship.)

As the XFL is a new league, one of the best sources available is their official website. Information on the league, its teams, and its players are all available on the site. Once the season officially begins, expect to see statistics, standings, and win/loss records here, too.
