Welcome to Week 2 of the XFL, and I gotta say, Week 1 was extra entertaining than I assumed it will be. Out of the 4 video games, three incuded second-half comebacks that led to thrilling trend. You cannot make up what occurred within the St. Louis Battlehawks vs. San Antonio Brahmas matchup, as A.J. McCarron’s offense scored 15 straight factors within the last 1:30 to come back again and win. They even transformed that fourth-and-15 onside kick to maintain the ball and rating the game-winning landing!
Since CBS Sports pays me the massive bucks, it ought to shock nobody that I went 4-0 ATS. Just kidding, I am unable to imagine I went 4-0 ATS — particularly contemplating how wild the video games ended up being. I do know that playing on Week 2 within the NFL is usually very tough as a result of it is easy to overreact to what occurred within the season openers. I wager that is much more true for a league just like the XFL. Let’s bounce in.

The Renegades’ protection landed them within the win column final weekend. It actually wasn’t due to the offense. Drew Plitt accomplished 19 of 25 passes for 172 yards and one interception, whereas the run sport averaged 2.7 yards per carry.
As for Houston, the Roughnecks seem like one of the best group within the league. Brandon Silvers threw for 272 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, whereas Jontre Kirklin caught 5 passes for 71 yards and a landing, and Deontay Burnett caught eight passes for 90 yards and a rating. Four-and-a-half factors seems like quite a bit provided that we’re one week into this factor, however I’m going to take the house favourite.
