Week eight of the United Football League’s (UFL) second 10-game season is approaching, and several teams have distanced themselves from the rest of the pack.
The UFL’s current standings have two clear leaders in both the USFL and the XFL Divisions. In the XFL, the Defenders and the Battlehawks are 5-2, with the Renegades on the outside looking in at 3-4. The same goes for the USFL, with both the Stallions and Panthers at 5-2 and the Roughnecks at 3-4.
For the Roughnecks and the Renegades, the last three games are must-win games as they don’t face each other, and statistically, it is still possible for them to make the postseason. However, in the XFL division, the Renegades at least have week 10, during which one of the two current division leaders will lose.
The Memphis Showboats (USFL) and the San Antonio Brahmas (XFL) have already been eliminated from the postseason with six losses each.
UFL Futures
Future odds from legal UFL online betting sites have recently updated the football odds and currently have game lines and futures available for the 2025 contest. Surprisingly, the Michigan Panthers have flipped the odds for the first time this season and now lead the UFL Championship odds.
Below are the odds of the future from Bovada’s online sportsbook going into week eight of the UFL season.
UFL Championship Game Winner 2025
- Michigan Panthers +225
- Birmingham Stallions +275
- Louis Battlehawks +275
- DC Defenders +400
- Arlington Renegades +1600
- Houston Roughnecks +3000
As you can see, the Renegades and Roughnecks are still on the board but are considered longshots to win the 2025 UFL Championship. If we have learned anything from last season, it is that making the playoffs is the goal. Even the team with the worst postseason record can win it all, and you can bet on it.
As seen above, betting on the UFL teams offers good value when bets are locked in early. However, it is essential to note that online sportsbook odds change often and will likely update soon after this weekend’s football competitions.
