St. Louis Battlehawks UFL Week 3 Betting
No team has been more impressive to start the 2025 UFL betting season than the St. Louis BattleHawks. Anthony Becht’s squad opened with a dominant win over the Houston Roughnecks, then followed it up by avenging last year’s XFL Division title game loss with a convincing 26-9 victory over the San Antonio Brahmas. Outside of the Arlington Renegades, no team has seen a greater shift in their UFL title odds. Originally listed at +350 to win their first championship, St. Louis has now overtaken defending champion Birmingham as the +220 odds-on favorite to win it all—thanks to their elite play on both sides of the ball.
Nothing but dominance was exhibited last Sunday night when they took all their pent up frustrations out on the Brahmas and turned the match into a laugher from the second quarter onward. By the time San Antonio scored its first points at the gun of the second quarter, the BattleHawks already had 17 on the board with RB Jacob Saylors scoring the first two of what would be three rushing touchdowns for the game. St. Louis would thwart a pair of fourth down tries by San Antonio in the second half en route to logging the impressive 17 point win and cover as 9-point favorites per the closing UFL odds. The crypto sportsbook lined them the biggest favorites of the Week 3 slate against a DC Defenders outfit it busted the brooms out on last season to snag the No. 1 seed in the XFL Division.

St. Louis Battlehawks UFL Week 3 Matchup
On Sunday, April 13, 2025, the St. Louis BattleHawks will take on the D.C. Defenders from The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, MO. Kickoff time is set for 3 p.m. ET with television coverage on ABC. The UFL Week 3 betting lines hit the board with the BattleHawks installed 5.5-point favorites and the total lined 39.5—the second-highest Over/Under (O/U) of the week. The point spread is yet to move off the opener since, but that’s not the case with the Over/Under and money line.
With both teams entering Sunday’s tilt at 2-0, the BattleHawks have shifted from -265 to -250 favorites. The total has also dropped a full point to 38.5, driven by both defenses showing out through the first two weeks. St. Louis is the only team allowing fewer than 200 total yards per game and leads the league in scoring defense, giving up just 7.5 points per outing. The BattleHawks also boast the UFL’s top-ranked pass defense, though it's worth noting their first two opponents—Houston and San Antonio—have struggled mightily through the air.
Still, St. Louis offers an elite one-two punch: a stingy defense paired with a dominant ground game. The three-headed rushing attack of QB Manny Wilkins, Jacob Saylors, and Jarveon Howard has powered the league’s No. 1 run game, averaging 218.5 yards per game and 5.46 yards per carry—good for second-best in the UFL. The BattleHawks scored the 26-21 win and non-cover as 7.5-point favorites when they hosted the Defenders last season with the 47 combined points surpassing the closing 43.5-point total.

With the win, St. Louis extended its regular-season home winning streak to seven games and improved to 11-2 all-time in The Dome at America’s Center.

Saylors finished with 46 yards on 11 carries and added a two-point conversion in the second quarter. He now has four touchdowns on the year and has scored in five of his last six regular-season appearances. Quarterback Manny Wilkins added a deep 58-yard completion to Gary Jennings Jr., the team’s longest play of the season. Defensively, St. Louis recorded four sacks to match a franchise single-game high. Linebackers Travis Feeney and Pita Taumoepenu each notched their first sack of the year, while DE Austin Faoliu and FS Nate Meadors recorded their first career sacks for the team. It’s early, but St. Louis has hit the ground running!
