After going 3-1 on my picks in Week 2 and Week 3, I went 4-0 on my Week 4 XFL picks. That means I’m now on a 10-2 run the last three weeks and I’ll look to continue that trend this week.

Roughnecks vs. Sea Dragons Picks for Week 5

When: Thursday, March 16th 2023 at 10:30 PM ET

Spread: Roughnecks -3.5 (-105) vs. Sea Dragons +3.5 (-115)

Total: Over 42.5 Points (-110) vs. Under 42.5 Points (-110)

The Houston Roughnecks (4-0) lead the XFL South Division. The Seattle Sea Dragons (2-2) are coming off a win against the Brahmas (15-6). Houston have the best defense in the XFL (13.8 PPG).

The top two QBs in the XFL will feature in this game. Ben DiNucci leads the XFL in passing yards (1119), while Brandon Silvers is second (962). Houston’s defense will allow them to remain undefeated.

Best Bet: Roughnecks -3.5 (-105)

Defenders vs. BattleHawks Picks for Week 5

When: Saturday, March 18th 2023 at 7:00 PM ET

Spread: Defenders -1.5 (-110) vs. BattleHawks +1.5 (-110)

Total: Over 42 Points (-110) vs. Under 42 Points (-110)

The DC Defenders (4-0) are first place in the XFL North Division. The St. Louis BattleHawks (3-1) are 1-0 at home, but they lost to the Defenders back in Week 3 (DC defeated STL 34-28).

Both teams can score points. DC average 26.5 PPG (2nd) and St. Louis average 22.5 PPG (3rd). DC have the best rushing attack (155.5 RYPG) and they have a better defense.

Best Bet: Defenders -1.5 (-110)

Guardians vs. Vipers Picks for Week 5

When: Saturday, March 18th 2023 at 10:00 PM ET

Spread: Guardians +7 (-110) vs. Vipers -7 (-110)

Total: Over 42 Points (-110) vs. Under 42 Points (-110)

The Orlando Guardians (0-4) and Vegas Vipers (0-4) are both winless this season. Orlando are scoring 12.3 PPG (8th) and allow 29.3 PPG (8th), while Vegas score 17.5 PPG (5th) and allow 25.5 PPG (7th).

This is too big of a point spread for the Vipers to cover. I’ll be backing Orlando to cover ATS. If they can avoid turning the football over too much, this should be a close game throughout.

Best Bet: Guardians +7 (-110)

Renegades vs. Brahmas Picks for Week 5

When: Sunday, March 19th 2023 at 10:00 PM ET

Spread: Renegades +3 (-110) vs. Brahmas -3 (-110)

Total: Over 35.5 Points (-110) vs. Under 35.5 Points (-110)

The Arlington Renegades (2-2) are 0-2 on the road this season. The San Antonio Brahmas (1-3) are on a two-game losing streak. The Brahmas score 16 PPG (6th) and Arlington score 14.3 PPG (7th).

Both teams have played well on defense. San Antonio allow 16.8 PPG (2nd) and the Renegades allow 19.0 PPG (5th). This will be a low-scoring game and I’m betting on the under.

Best Bet: Under 35.5 Points (-110)
