DC Defenders at San Antonio Brahmas odds, picks and predictions

The DC Defenders (8-1) and the San Antonio Brahmas (3-6) meet Saturday in a Week 10 XFL matchup. Kickoff from Alamodome is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Defenders vs. Brahmasodds, and make our expert XFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Defenders have already clinched the North Division. DC didn't take its foot off the gas last week, easing by Arlington 28-26 in overtime, but it didn't come close to covering as an 8.5-point favorite. After opening 6-0 against the spread (ATS), DC is just 1-2 ATS in the previous 3 weekends. The Over is on a 7-0 run, with DC posting 28 or more points in each of the outings.

The Brahmas are still in the mix for a postseason spot, but San Antonio needs help. San Antonio not only needs to win this week - a tall order against the league's best team - but it needs Arlington to lose to a Houston team that has already locked up a postseason spot.

San Antonio won 25-23 last week against Orlando, and it has cashed at a 3-1 ATS clip in the past 4 outings. The Over last week was a rarity, halting a 6-0 Under run for the Brahmas.
