- The UFL, a unified league between the XFL and USFL, debuts on Saturday.
- Futures odds for the UFL favor the Birmingham Stallions with +300 odds to three-peat as champions.
- The Stallions are 3.5-point favorites against the 2023 XFL Champion Arlington Renegades to kick off the season.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Football returns on Saturday with the debut of the Unified Football League. The XFL and USFL merged into an eight-team league that allows fans to get the best legal sports betting experience for spring football.
The back-to-back USFL champion Birmingham Stallions have +300 odds to win the 2024 UFL Championship. Returning 2023 XFL Championship MVP Luis Perez gives the Arlington Renegades’ +450 futures odds solid value.
2024 UFL Championship Odds
- Birmingham Stallions +300
- St. Louis Battlehawks +350
- D.C. Defenders +375
- Arlington Renegades +450
- Houston Roughnecks +650
- Memphis Showboats +800
- Michigan Panthers +900
- San Antonio Brahmas +1000
The Stallions will be without former USFL MVP quarterback Alex McGough after he was signed by the Green Bay Packers. Their +300 odds are still a good bet on the United Football League after signing former Nebraska and Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez.
Excited for this opportunity!! #GiddyUp https://t.co/SrXA1UnFgn

Stallions Favored Over Renegades In UFL Game 1
A battle between league champions from last year favors the Birmingham Stallions by 3.5 points. The Arlington Renegades’ strong defense makes the under on the 42.0-point total the best bet for Saturday.
Birmingham Stallions Vs Arlington Renegades
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birmingham Stallions | -3.5 (-115) | -176 | O42.0 (-115) |
| Arlington Renegades | +3.5 (-115) | +145 | U42.0 (-115) |
Saturday’s 42.0-point total went under in eight of the Renegades’ 10 regular season games in 2023. They’re returning most of their defensive talent like former NFL first-round pick Vic Beasley, so it’s going to be tough for the defending USFL champions to run up the score on Saturday.
