Current odds:

St. Louis BattleHawks: (TBD)

Houston Roughnecks: (TBD)

 

• The line for this game is Houston by 8 points.

• This is the second matchup of the week between undefeated teams. The BattleHawks grounded and pounded their way to a win in Week 1. Running back Matt Jones led all rushers with 85 yards on 21 carries, and quarterback Jordan Ta’amu was third among all rushers with 77 yards on nine carries. Even backup RB Keith Ford had a solid 4-26-1 outing for St. Louis. Meanwhile, the BattleHawks’ defense allowed no touchdowns against title-favorite Dallas in Week 1. A tough defense combined with an offense dominating the play clock is a dangerous combo.

• The Roughnecks came away from Week 1 as the new title favorites. Houston’s offense lists four receivers as starters on offense with no tight ends on the roster. This strategy worked in their favor as quarterback P.J. Walker finished with four touchdowns on 272 yards passing. This will be a battle between two very different offenses, and it should be a fun game to close out the second week of the XFL.
