D.C. vs. San Antonio UFL Week 6 Betting Lines

D.C. Defenders UFL Week 6 Betting

Last week was an exercise in futility and humility for the D.C. Defenders. With a chance to gain a tie in the standings with the St. Louis Battlehawks, the Defenders were dominated and routed in a 45-12 blowout home loss. D.C. is now two games behind the Battlehawks and San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Division standings. This week, the Defenders hit the road to face the San Antonio Brahmas. San Antonio is tied with St. Louis for the XFL Division lead. If D.C. is to save its season, they must tighten up defensively while increasing lackluster offensive production. Indeed, the Defenders have the metrics of a below-average team.

D.C. Defenders Week 5 Recap

The D.C. Defenders have a record of 2-3. The Defenders are in 3rd place in the UFL XFL Division standings. On offense, D.C. ranks 6th for total yards, 5th for rushing, 6th for passing, and 4th for scoring. On defense, D.C. ranks 8th for total yards, 6th for rushing, 8th for passing, and 6th for scoring. Last week, the Defenders lost at home 45-12 against the St. Louis Battlehawks.

The Battlehawks struck first in the first quarter, scoring 14 unanswered by way of a touchdown and two field goals made by PK Andre Szmyt. Szmyt ended the day making four of his four attempts, his longest from 51 yards away. It wasn’t until late in the first half that the Defender’s offense woke up.

With just over two minutes remaining in the second quarter, the Defenders put together a nice drive and charged down the field, scoring a rushing touchdown by the feet of Harris Cam’Ron for one yard. Then immediately got the ball back and charged again, but this time, quarterback Jordan Ta’amu was airing it out to receiver Kelvin Harmon for six. But after failed two-point attempts on both touchdowns, the score was a commendable 12-17 St. Louis lead.

Despite the momentum being on their side heading into the locker room, Defenders came out flat in the second half, and it only got worse from there.

After the initial field goal by Szmyt late in the third, it looked like a photo-finish till the final whistle, but that didn’t last long.

Three rushing and one passing touchdown later, and the game got away quickly in the fourth quarter. 25 of the 45 points scored by St. Louis can be traced back to the multiple turnovers that D.C. had, along with the two-for-thirteen 3rd down success rate.

The Defenders will gear up to continue their home stand as they challenge Wade Phillips and his (4-1) San Antonio Brahmas.
