UFL Championship Odds – Birmingham Stallions in a Class their Own

The 2024 UFL betting season is three weeks old and only two teams have managed to play in-line with offseason expectations. The Birmingham Stallions clock in as the league’s lone undefeated looking to win a third straight title under Skip Holtz’s watch, while the St. Louis Battlehawks have continued to thrive with reigning XFL MVP A.J. McCarron leading the offense’s charge. At the other end of the spectrum has been the disappointing Arlington Renegades and Houston Roughnecks evidenced by their odds to win the UFL Championship fattening up quite a bit since losing each of their respective home openers back in Week 1. Let’s put the current futures odds to win the UFL Championship at Caesars Sportsbook under the microscope and see what they have to offer.

The Favorites

Birmingham Stallions +150

The Stallions look to be the class of the league entering Week 4 having disposed of Arlington, Michigan, and Memphis by an average of 13.0 points per game to cover the closing UFL odds with ease in each game. Armed with the league’s top ranked offense and defense, Birmingham looks well on its way towards punching a ticket to the playoffs and putting itself in a position to win a third straight title. A stiff challenge awaits in Week 4 however with Holtz’s squad set to welcome last year’s XFL runner-ups in the D.C. Defenders. That however hasn’t stopped the UFL betting market from pushing the Stallions into heavy 9-point favorites to come out on top.

St. Louis BattleHawks +250

Since dropping a tough 18-16 decision at Michigan to open the season, the BattleHawks have rattled off two straight wins over the Arlington Renegades and San Antonio Brahmas to get the season headed back in the right direction. Only Birmingham is averaging more points per game than St. Louis (24.7) that’s put forth a balanced attack both on the ground (#2) and through the air (#5). It’s pretty crazy to think what this team could turn into once the passing game clicks and the defense figures out a way to stop the run (#7). The latter might not be an issue in Week 4 running up against the Showboats’ second-worst rushing attack. The BattleHawks are decided 7-point favorites over Memphis to win their third game in Week 4.

The Contenders

San Antonio Brahmas +600

Last year’s squad arguably had the best defense in the league. Unfortunately, the offense suffered a myriad of injuries and couldn’t get out of its own way. It led to a 3-7 record and just missing out on the playoffs in the top-heavy South Division. This year’s squad had been noticeably improved under the leadership of QB Chase Garbers, but he was just put on IR after breaking his wrist in a competitive home loss to St. Louis last week. Former Orlando Guardians QB Quinten Dormady will take over in his stead looking to keep a balanced Brahmas attack firing on all cylinders, and maybe take it to another level required to cash in on the UFL title odds. They’re 1-point home dogs to Michigan in Week 4.

Michigan Panthers +700

Like San Antonio, the Panthers have shown much better than oddsmakers expected at the outset of the season evidenced by their odds to win it all shortening up to +700 after initially hitting the board 13-1. It’s already taken on both Birmingham and St. Louis, and lived to tell about it. It fell 20-13 to the Stallions, but ousted St. Louis 18-16 at home in the season opener. Last week, it erupted in the third quarter to pull away from Houston and move to 2-1 both SU and ATS for the year. E.J. Perry has been solid under center with his duel-threat capability, while the defense sports one of the better secondaries in the league (#2). A huge non-con coin flip game is set to go in Week 4 at San Antonio.

D.C. Defenders +700

Reggie Barlow is back calling the shots for a much different looking Defenders squad than the one he overlooked a season ago. With Abram Smith no longer in the backfield, D.C. has found it tougher to move the ball up and down the field (#6) and put points on the board (#6). That paired with a defense conceding 325.0 yards and 24.3 points per game has seen the Defenders luck box their way to 2-1 SU and 1-2 ATS records which right now finds them in the playoff mix. The strength of schedule leaves much to be desired however with the opposition faced standing 2-7 SU through three weeks of play. It’s pretty safe to assume this week’s road trip to Birmingham will be quite the litmus test for Jordan Ta’amu and Co.

And The Rest

Memphis Showboats +900

Arlington Renegades +1600

Houston Roughnecks +3500
