The 2025 UFL season has two weekends remaining and we already know the four teams that will play in the postseason. What we don’t know is which teams will be hosting division championship games.

We’ll take a giant step toward knowing the home team in the USFL Division when Michigan (6-2) travels to Birmingham (5-3) on Saturday. The Panthers all but assure themselves a home playoff game with a win on the road. That could put Michigan in a spot to avenge last year’s playoff loss to the Stallions and get to the UFL championship.

In the XFL Division, St. Louis, winners of four straight, and DC are tied at 6-2. However, the UFL has already announced that the Battlehawks will host the XFL Championship game on June 8. That’s because DC’s Audi Field has a previously scheduled event.

The Battlehawks may earn that right to host the title game outright as they are the hottest team in the UFL right now. St. Louis has won four straight, including Week 8’s dramatic 29-28 win over 2024 UFL champion Birmingham.

Despite the playoff spots being locked up, there will still be drama over these final two weeks of the regular season. Let’s get in the huddle once again and take a look at the latest UFL Week 9 odds, courtesy of the top sports betting sites. Then, we can make our UFL Week 9 predictions.

UFL Week 9 Schedule

UFL Week 9 Predictions

Let’s take a look at the full Week 9 slate of matchups and make our spread, total, and moneyline picks for each game.

St. Louis Battlehawks vs. San Antonio Brahmas Odds

As mentioned, the Battlehawks are the UFL’s hottest team right now with four consecutive wins. St. Louis is 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS this season. The Battlehawks have been a favorite of 8 or more points once before this season. They covered the spread in that game.

It’s amazing what a year will do. Last season, San Antonio had the UFL’s best defense and ended up playing for the league championship. Heading into Week 9, the Brahmas are the UFL’s worst. They have just one win and they are 3-5 ATS.

The Brahmas have been in this position before. They were an underdog of 8 or more three times this season and they are 1-2 ATS. San Antonio got close last week, but lost in overtime 24-22 to Memphis, which has just two wins this season.

The St. Louis offense could have a field day. San Antonio has allowed a league-high 212 points. That’s 26.5 points per game. Not surprisingly, the Over is 5-3 in the Brahmas eight games. St. Louis O/U record is 4-4.

St. Louis Battlehawks vs. San Antonio Brahmas Predictions

St. Louis RB Jacob Saylors leads the UFL in rushing with 466 yards. He has scored five rushing touchdowns. QB Max Duggan averages over 5.0 yards per carry and also has five rushing TDs, which ties both players for the UFL lead.

San Antonio will have a tough time with the Battlehawks running game. The Brahmas have the worst run defense in the league, giving up 124 yards on the ground per game. That will open things up for Duggan in the passing game. The St. Louis QB has 563 yards passing and three touchdowns on the season. Last year’s UFL Offensive Player of the Year Hakeem Butler is the team’s leading receiver (7 rec., 196 yds., 3 TDs).

There’s really no question who wins this game. The issue is whether the Battlehawks can cover the spread. The St. Louis running game will likely shorten the game and San Antonio’s ho-hum offense likely won’t contribute much to the total.

Bet: ML pass, St. Louis -8 (-110), Under 41.5 (-110)

Arlington Renegades vs. Memphis Showboats Odds

Arlington has to be one of the bigger disappointments this season. The Renegades started the year 3-1, but haven’t won a game since. Now 3-5, Arlington has been eliminated from the postseason. The Renegades are 3-5 SU and 4-4 ATS. They have been a favorite of 4 or more points once this season. Arlington failed to cover in that game.

Memphis is just 2-6 SU and 4-4 ATS this season. They have played some close games this season, but they have also been blown out a few times. The Showboats offense is far from a show, averaging just 15.9 points per game this season.

Arlington has averaged 22 points per game on offense and five of the team’s eight games have gone Over the total. Memphis’ O/U record is 4-4. The Showboats have been an underdog of 4 or more points five times this season. They are 2-3 ATS in those games.

The magic number for Memphis is 24. The Showboats pulled off a huge upset – 24-22 – in Week 5, beating the Stallions. Memphis also won last week, beating San Antonio 24-20.

Arlington Renegades vs. Memphis Showboats Predictions

Arlington QB Luis Perez was the UFL’s leading passer a year ago. This year, he’s second behind DC’s Jordan Ta’amu. Perez leads the league in completion percentage (70.9%) and has thrown for 1,805 yards and seven touchdowns. He is also second in the UFL in total offense.

Deontay Burnett is Perez’s main target in the passing game. He’s got 25 catches, 299 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. The Renegades do not rely on the run as much and RB Dae Dae Hunter’s 302 yards attest to that. Hunter averages just 37.2 rushing yards per game.

The Showboats have one of the top receivers in the UFL. Jonathan Adams ranks third in the league in receiving yards with 418 on 32 catches. QB Dresser Winn has thrown for 638 yards. RB Deneric Prince is the team’s leading rusher, but he only averages a little over 34 yards per game.

The bottom line is that both teams are going to throw the ball all over the yard. With the total set just below that NFL key number of 41, expect this to be a higher-scoring game. Memphis has kept a handful of its games close. Remember, the magic number is 24. Arlington’s defense is giving up 18.7 points per game this season, but the Renegades have allowed 33 and 25 in their last two games.

Add in a lack of motivation since the Renegades can no longer make the playoffs and you have a recipe for an upset, especially with the Showboats playing at home.

Bet: Memphis +180, Memphis +4 (-110), Over 40.5 (-110)

Michigan Panthers vs. Birmingham Stallions Odds

This is the game of the week in the UFL. They are the top two teams in the USFL Division and Michigan is currently in the top spot. The Panthers have a one-game lead over the Stallions. Birmingham could pull even with Michigan with a win. Birmingham would own the tiebreaker over Michigan since the Stallions won the first game this season.

When playing as a favorite of at least 1.5 points, Michigan is 4-2 ATS this season. The Panthers have the league’s best offense averaging 26.4 points per game. Five of the Panthers eight games have gone Over the total.

The Stallions have the talent on offense to hang with Michigan. QB Bryce Perkins has completed 69 percent of his passes for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns. He ranks third in the UFL in passing and in total offense.

Birmingham is averaging 21.5 points per game, but in each of their last three games the Stallions have scored at least 26. The Stallions O/U record is 4-4 this season with their last two games going way Over the total.

Michigan Panthers vs. Birmingham Stallions Predictions

The Stallions have four straight wins over the Panthers. Birmingham won both regular season games last season and then beat the Panthers in the USFL championship game. The Stallions also won the first meeting this season.

That said, the Panthers have the best offense in the UFL and one of the better defenses in the league too. Birmingham actually has the league’s best defense, holding teams to 17 points per game. They did, however, give up 29 and 25 points in their last two games.

In games between division opponents, teams that have seen each other multiple times, expect the pace to be a bit slower. The defenses will have the advantage, despite the Panthers having the best offense in the league. A close game also favors the underdog, especially one that is playing at home.

Bet: Birmingham +110, Birmingham +1.5 (-110), Under 44.5 (-110)

DC Defenders vs. Houston Roughnecks Odds

DC has won its last two straight, scoring 30-plus points in each game. The Defenders have the best offense in the XFL Division and the second-best offense in the UFL. DC averages 24.5 points per game, led by QB Jordan Ta’amu, the league’s leading passer.

The Defenders have been favorites of three points or more three times this season. They are 0-3 ATS in those three games. However, if you like betting totals, the Defenders have seen six of their eight games go Over the total. DC has the second-highest scoring offense in the UFL. They also give up a ton of points. At 6-2, they have a point differential of +9.

Houston has lost each of its last two games. The Roughnecks have struggled this season. The offense has been brutal, averaging 17.5 points per game. Houston has been at least a three-point underdog six times this season. The Roughnecks are 3-3 ATS.

DC Defenders vs. Houston Roughnecks Predictions

The Defenders offense is tough to stop. Ta’amu has thrown for 1,473 yards even though he’s only completed 50.2 percent of his passes. He has 11 touchdown passes and has thrown just four interceptions.

WR Chris Rowland has 33 catches for 434 yards, which ranks second in the UFL this season. Braylon Sanders (332) and Cornell Powell (314) also rank in the top 10 in receiving yards. The Defenders offense is loaded and can score on anyone.

That will be the difference in this one. Houston’s Jalen McClendon has thrown for 1,039 yards and RB Zaquandre White has 300 rushing yards and four touchdowns. But, the Roughnecks just can’t keep pace with the Defenders.

Houston’s defense ranks sixth in the league against both the run and the pass. The Roughnecks will have a rough time slowing down Ta’amu and company. Houston has scored some points more recently and the Defenders defense has given up 30 or more points in three of its last four games.

Bet: DC -162, DC -3 (-110), Over 45.5 (-110)

UFL Week 9 Best Bets

Once again, it’s time for our Scores & Stats experts to make their best bets for Week 9. After careful review of all of the games, here are this week’s best bets.

• DC -162 @ Houston
• Michigan @ Birmingham Under 44.5

The Roughnecks just don’t have anything to play for and the Defenders offense will be too much for Houston. Instead of worrying about the spread, we’ll take DC to win straight up at a decent price. The -162 means we would stake $162 to win $100 on a Defenders victory.

The Under in the Michigan-Birmingham game is priced at the standard -110. That means our $110 wager will net us $100 with a final score that totals 44 or less. We could play these bets separately which means we would put out $272 in bets. If both bets win, we would net $200.

The other option we have is to parlay these two wagers into a single bet. Doing so in this case would give up parlay odds of +209. That means we can wager $100 and win $209 if both bets cash.
