Game Preview
Arlington was unable to hold off Seattle at home last week, falling 24-15, and dropping to 3-4 on the season. The Renegades have the XFL’s worst offense, averaging only 13 points per game on the season. Despite their league-worst offense and -32 point differential, Arlington is currently sitting in one of the 4 playoff spots, thanks to a weak division. They just need to find a way to win a few more games to stay in.
The Guardians finally got their first win of the season last week, in an unpredictable fashion. After starting out 0-6, Orlando drew a matchup against their polar opposites, the 6-0 Defenders. Instead of a blowout in DC’s favor, the Guardians managed to keep the game close from wire-to-wire, eventually winning it by a score of 37-36. That thrilling win could be just what they need to make an improbably late playoff push.
Picks
The Guardians are miraculously only 2 games out of a playoff spot, despite starting the season 0-6. Their thrilling win against the XFL’s top-ranked team could give them momentum here as they host another home game. Both of these teams have a lot on the line with a postseason berth being realistic, but this matchup against the struggling Renegades is ideal for Orlando. I see the Guardians winning this one 16-13.
