2024 UFL Betting Online
Heading into Week 5 and the midway point of the season, the Birmingham Stallions remain the class of the UFL. Birmingham escaped a near upset but got past the D.C. Defenders to stay undefeated and atop the USFL Division standings. This week, Birmingham hits the road to face the Houston Roughnecks, who finally earned their first win of the season. In the XFL Division, the St. Louis Battlehawks and San Antonio Brahmas are tied for the lead, with the D.C. Defenders one game behind. The Arlington Renegades must be rated as the biggest disappointment in the UFL. Head coach Bob Stoops and his charges are yet to win a game.

Houston Roughnecks head coach Curtis Johnson waited patiently for the return of workhorse running back Mark Thompson.
After sitting out the first three weeks of the UFL season with a knee injury, Thompson played for the first time against the Arlington Renegades on Sunday, providing a spark in Houston’s 17-9 victory.
Thompson rushed nine times for 34 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown and the Roughnecks' final score of the game. Johnson said Thompson was on a pitch count, limiting his availability. Still, when Thompson was in, he helped create a clear picture for Houston's passing game by forcing a safety closer to the line of scrimmage defensively for Arlington.
Out for the first three weeks of the season, while he recovered from a knee injury, the cat-quick receiver played well in his return to action for the Battlehawks.
Last year's leading receiver in the XFL, Pearson finished with a game-high ten receptions for 70 yards, including an 8-yard catch in the back of the end zone to complete the scoring in a 32-17 home victory over the Memphis Showboats.
St. Louis QB AJ McCarron had another big day, completing 35 of 45 (77.8%) passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns, with his lone blemish being an interception by Memphis safety Quenton Meeks. McCarron completed passes to 10 different receivers in the win, and the Battlehawks recorded 355 total yards of offense.
Running back Jacob Saylors finished with 103 yards on 15 carries, including a 57-yard jaunt in the fourth quarter to salt the game away in front of 31,000-plus St. Louis fans who showed up at The Dome at America’s Center.
Birmingham head coach Skip Holtz went back to Corral as the team’s starter just a week after Adrian Martinez threw for over 300 yards. While it wasn't a clean performance for Birmingham’s offense, with two fumbles in the red zone and a blocked punt, the Stallions managed to hold on for a 20-18 victory at Protective Stadium.
Starting in place of injured kicker Chris Blewitt, former Pittsburgh Maulers kicker Ramiz Ahmed joined the team on Tuesday and finished four for four on field goals, including the game-winner from 46 yards out.
Corral completed 19 of 29 passes (65.5%) for 240 yards and a score. He added another 51 yards on the ground. Amari Rodgers led the Stallions with four receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown, while Kelvin Harmon totaled five catches for 93 yards and a score for the Defenders.
Starting his first UFL game in place of injured QB Garbers (wrist), Dormady was impressive, completing 23 of 37 passes (62.2%) for 269 yards and a touchdown in the San Antonio Brahmas' 19-9 victory over the visiting Panthers (2-2). Dormady also threw an interception.
Justin Smith (seven receptions for 105 yards) and Jontre Kirklin (five receptions for 105 yards) both eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark for the Brahmas. San Antonio’s defense sacked the Panthers six times and forced three turnovers. Linebacker Jordan Mosley finished with five combined tackles, one interception, and a forced fumble.

In the United States, the television rights for the UFL are held by Fox and ESPN, which previously held the rights to the USFL and XFL, respectively.
The league is divided into two conferences, the USFL Conference and the XFL Conference, each a continuation of its respective league. Each team will play a ten-game schedule with no bye weeks, playing two games against each conference rival (one home and one away) and one game against each team in the other conference, like the XFL, all eight teams playing in their home markets.
The UFL has reworked the playoff system so that the winners of each conference will host the league semifinals as before. In contrast, the two remaining playoff seeds will be wild-card bids going to the best remaining overall records, regardless of conference.
