2025 United Football League Betting Online
The second week of UFL betting is in the books, with the St. Louis BattleHawks, Arlington Renegades, Birmingham Stallions, and DC Defenders all getting into the win column. On the contrary, the Houston Roughnecks, San Antonio Brahmas, Memphis Showboats, and Michigan Panthers each went down in defeat. With UFL betting odds shifting once again, it’s time to assess which teams are emerging as true contenders—and which are slipping into pretender territory—in the eyes of oddsmakers at the online sportsbook. As we head into Week 3, let’s take a closer look at the updated UFL Championship betting board.
UFL Week 3 Betting Lines
*Odds as of Monday, April 7, 1:00 PM ET
By dismantling the San Antonio Brahmas 26-9 to avenge their XFL Championship defeat of a year ago, the St. Louis BattleHawks are now the +210 favorites to win the UFL title. Anthony Becht’s troops have been dominant through two weeks of play, outscoring their opposition by the aggregate score of 57-15 to clock in as the only undefeated team against the closing UFL odds. Armed with a balanced offensive attack led by QB Manny Wilkins and a relentless defense, the BattleHawks look primed for a championship run through the first two weeks.
While it was far from pretty, defending champion Birmingham did what was needed at Michigan to bounce back from their season opening loss at DC. Their rate of return slimmed to +260 from +280 on the UFL betting odds following the 21-12 win against the Panthers moving Skip Holtz’s squad to 6-0 straight up (SU) in the all-time rivalry. QB Matt Corral stepped up huge for the Stallions after starter Alex McGough was lost on the initial play of the game, but it was the defense and special teams that dominated allowing Birmingham to score the huge USFL Division road win.
The Arlington Renegades were one of the more impressive teams of Week 1 after taking the wood to San Antonio. Because of it, UFL bettors hammered Bob Stoops’ troops in Week 2 against the Roughnecks. So much so that the opening 8.5-point spread closed 12.5. Naturally, Arlington laid an egg and got a much stiffer challenge evidenced by squeaking out an ugly 11-9 win. Linemakers loved the end result, and did absolutely nothing to their UFL futures odds heading into a major litmus test in Week 3 at Birmingham.
Though DC is one of three teams that managed to go unscathed through the first two weeks of UFL betting action, oddsmakers appear to have soured on Jordan Ta’amu and Co. regardless of the Defenders winning 17-12 in Week 2 against Memphis. The offense’s struggles resumed Saturday night, and if not for winning the turnover battle 3-0, it’s likely the Defenders would’ve lost with the Showboats outgaining them 308-257. The book is still out on Shannon Harris’ squad as evidenced by their UFL betting odds jumping to +475 from +375 even after coming out victorious.
Opportunities were there for the Panthers to finally end their futility against the Stallions, but Michigan was once again unable to get out of their own heads after allowing Birmingham to go into their house and score the 21-12 win. After invading Memphis and notching the second-highest point total of the opening week, UFL bettors hammered the Panthers enough to turn them into short favorites after opening 2.5-point home dogs. Poorly timed turnovers and failing to put points on the board until the fourth quarter killed their chances. Michigan jumped back to +650 from +500 because of it.
The San Antonio Brahmas have looked absolutely nothing like a reigning conference winner after incurring ugly one-sided losses to the Renegades and BattleHawks these first two weeks. Wade Phillips’ men have been embarrassingly outscored by the aggregate score of 59-18 and came nowhere close to covering either closing UFL betting line. The offense has been painful to watch with Kellen Mond under center, and it’s taken a toll on the franchise’s once proud defense with the team losing the time of possession battle by 18+ minutes. Their UFL betting odds have since swelled to 22/1 after opening 6/1!
Though the Memphis Showboats’ odds of winning the UFL Championship swelled to 35-1 after initially hitting the board 15/1, Ken Whisenhunt’s squad is one UFL bettors best not count out. It took them a bit to get going Week 1, but the team was in a position to possibly tie the game up in the closing moments if not for a backbreaking pick-six. With E.J. Perry manning the offense in Week 2, the Showboats held a 12-9 lead in the fourth quarter at DC on Saturday night. Unfortunately, it gave up the go-ahead score and then had a field goal attempt blocked that thwarted any shot of holding possession with a successful 4th-and-12 possession attempt. This team is better than its 0-2 record.
Heading into the season, it was expected that Houston’s defense would be ahead of its offense. While that didn’t hold true in the opener against a BattleHawks team that’s looked like a juggernaut through two weeks, it certainly showed up in Week 2 against Arlington. The Renegades had just racked up 347 total yards—183 on the ground—against San Antonio, but were limited to 298 yards by Houston and struggled on key downs, converting 5-of-14 third down attempts and 1-of-2 in the red zone. The under is 2-0, but it remains to be seen how long this defense can hold up while getting next to nothing from the offense.

The United Football League (UFL) is a professional spring football league born of a merger between the United States Football League (USFL) and the XFL.
In 2025, the UFL will be comprised of eight teams and two divisions. All UFL regular season games will be played in the home fields of the teams involved. Unlike the old USFL format, there will be no neutral site games. The league was created as a "merger of equals," with the respective leagues' owners assuming 50% ownership of the newly formed UFL.
The regular season kicks off on Friday, March 28, 2025, with the championship game on Saturday, June 14, 2025.
In the United States, the television rights for the UFL are held by Fox and ESPN, which previously held the rights to the USFL and XFL, respectively.
The league is divided into two conferences, the USFL Conference and the XFL Conference, each a continuation of its respective league. Each team will play a ten-game schedule with no bye weeks, playing two games against each conference rival (one home and one away) and one game against each team in the other conference, like the XFL, all eight teams playing in their home markets.
The UFL has reworked the playoff system so that the winners of each conference will host the league semifinals as before. In contrast, the two remaining playoff seeds will be wild-card bids going to the best remaining overall records, regardless of conference.
