The DC Defenders and Houston Roughnecks continue to drop in BetOnline's XFL 2020 Championship Winner market.
As of this week's post, the Defenders are +200 favourites with Houston trailing in second at +225. They were both +350 and +250 respectively when I wrote about them last week.
Both teams are at 2-0 and will face 0-2 losing teams this coming weekend.
With the focus on DC and Houston slipping in betting on the outrights, it's worth pointing out that the New York Guardians - a team that was backed from +750 into +600 after a week one victory - has now been pushed to +1,000 following their 27-0 loss to the Defenders last Saturday.
It was quite a scene during that game as the Guardians' quarterback, Matt McGloin, didn't hold back to air his grievances with the game plan.
The Guardians have also drifted over here in Europe following last Saturday's mauling. The best price you would have found for them to win the championship was 4/1 last week. As of right now, they're available at a best price of 12/1.
As for the offshore favourites? Well, they have shortened over here as well with DC now a best price 21/10 (was 15/4) and Houston has been cut from 5/1 into 3s.
I am now 2-1 betting on the games after two weeks.
My week two plays were on the Seattle Dragons (+3.5) and the over in the aforementioned Guardians versus Defenders game.
I won with Seattle as the team more than covered the three-and-a-half point spread as the Dragons won straight up with a score of 17-9 against the Tampa Bay Vipers.
New York versus DC fell below the line of 46.5 with the 27-0 scoreline.
So, with me being 2-0 on the point spread, I thought I'd go back there with my bet for this week.
As crazy as this may come across, especially after writing about the Guardians' implosion, I am going to back them getting the ten points against St. Louis.
Overlooking that the Guardians lost by twenty-seven last week, the BattleHawks' last two games - whether they've won or lost - have not had a margin of ten points between the two teams.
Add in the fact that New York's loss was against the favourites to win the entire league and it MIGHT not be as bad as it really looks.
I'm also 1-0 when taking teams getting double digits, so I'm going to ride that one until the wheels fall off.
