Houston Roughnecks UFL Week 6 Betting
The miserable season of the Houston Roughnecks continued last week with a 32-9 blowout loss against the Powerhouse Birmingham Stallions. While it is no disgrace to lose to the best team in the UFL, the game was a revelation as to just how far the Roughnecks are behind the league’s elite teams. Houston’s offense has been abysmal this year, and the defense is feeling the strain. The Roughnecks lack the complimentary football required for championship success. And the defense is being continually worn down in the second half of games because the offense can’t keep them off the field enough. Houston’s inability to run the football effectively has put too much of the offensive burden on QB Reid Sinnett. This week, Houston’s problems are likely to continue with a game at St. Louis against the high-flying Battlehawks.

In their first of two contests against the undefeated Birmingham Stallions, the Houston Roughnecks battled to the end. Still, they would leave the stadium with another notch in the loss column following the final score of 32-9.
Returning to the field after a short week, the Roughnecks aimed to keep their winning streak going in Week 5. But with an opponent such as the USFL Conference leading Stallions, the cards may have been stacked against them. Within the first 6 minutes of the match, Birmingham would put the first set of points on the board, succeeding a 6-yard touchdown by RB Ricky Person, bringing the score to 6-0. With no luck, Houston would go into the second set of fifteen scoreless as they ran a total of 12 plays in the first quarter, yielding any results.
The Roughnecks would start the second quarter off with a 36-yard field goal by P J.J. Molson, putting up a score of 6-3. But even with a score on the board, the second proved to be the round in which the Stallions would plant their flag at Rice University. As a result of RB Larry Rountree’s 5-yard rushing, TE Jace Sternberger’s 27-yard receiving, and RB Ricky Person’s 2-yard rushing touchdowns, coinciding with a successful 2-point conversion, Birmingham would outscore Houston 20-3. The Roughnecks would only let 12 of these points go unanswered as QB Reid Sinnett would connect with TE Braedon Bowman for a 1-yard touchdown for a score of 26-9 going into halftime.
