San Antonio Brahmas (2-0) vs St Louis Battlehawks (1-1)
Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 3:00 pm
At 3 pm, our selection is on the St. Louis Battlehawks minus the points over the San Antonio Brahmas. St. Louis is 1-1, and sits one game behind undefeated San Antonio in the XFL Division. Last week, the Brahmas registered a major comeback win over the Memphis Showboats. Trailing 16-0 in the 3rd quarter, and 19-8 with less than a minute to go, the Brahmas scored a touchdown to cut the deficit to 19-14. They then elected to go for a 4th-and-12 play rather than an onside kick, and were successful, so they retained possession. That led to a game-winning 5-yard touchdown pass with 3 seconds remaining. Still, the Brahmas did not score a point through the first three quarters, and gained only 36 rushing yards (on 11 carries) for the game. In contrast, the Battlehawks rushed for 110 yards on 18 carries in last week's 27-24 victory over Arlington. For the season, St. Louis is averaging 4.52 ypr, compared to just 3.32 ypr for San Antonio. And these numbers are similar to last season, where the Battlehawks averaged 4.2 ypr, while San Antonio averaged 3.4. We'll lay the short price with the Battlehawks. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
