XFL: Roughnecks @ Renegades

Who will WIN this matchup?

Houston Roughnecks

@ Dallas Renegades

 

Current odds:

Houston Roughnecks: (-150)

Dallas Renegades: (+130)

 

• The spread for the game is Houston by 3 points.

• PJ Walker continues to make the strongest of MVP cases. In Week 3 he completed 24-of-36 passes (67% completion rate) for 306 yards (8.5 YPA) with three TDs and zero picks. The dual-threat QB added four carries for 34 yards and another score. The off-script ability of Walker has made him a headache for each and every defense he’s seen so far.

• Landry Jones has spearheaded the XFL’s most pass-happy offense during his two weeks as a starter. He’s played well enough, averaging 7.1 YPA (No. 4 among 12 qualified QBs), completing 71.6% of his passes (No. 3), and posting a 97.4 QB Rating (No. 4). Still, the four interceptions haven’t helped, and Jones’ painful lack of mobility makes him a bit of a statue in the pocket. The good news is Jones has countered this by averaging the league’s second-fastest release time through three weeks.

• The game of the week is expected to be a nail biter. The battle of Texas consists of two teams that have proven to have a solid level of team-wide talent, but one QB has clearly been the superior player.
