Dragons @ BattleHawks

What will be the GAME RESULT?

Dragons: Win or Single Digit Loss

@ BattleHawks: Win By Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Seattle Dragons: (TBD)

Saint Louis BattleHawks: (TBD)

 

• The line for this game is BattleHawks by 12 points.

• As I expected, the Dragons were unable to win in Week 3. Seattle entered halftime with a 12-6 lead, but were outscored 18-0 in the second half. Surprisingly, Seattle has stuck with quarterback Brandon Silvers despite the fact he is completing 53 percent of his passes while averaging 170 yards per game. He has a 6-4 touchdown-interception ratio on the season, including at least one interception in every game. Seattle’s backup, B.J. Daniels, could energize the offense with his mobility.

• Meanwhile, the BattleHawks have looked like one of the best teams in the XFL. Their only loss this season came to the undefeated Roughnecks, but even that was a close game. St. Louis relies on a heavy rushing attack involving Matt Jones, Christine Michael and quarterback Jordan Ta’amu. Jones leads the XFL in rushing with 224 yards through three games.

• I don’t expect this to be a close one. Seattle has struggled in every game this season, while St. Louis has looked strong in every game. The fact this game is in St. Louis makes me even more confident in this pick.
