Houston Roughnecks at Arlington Renegades Preview & Picks

Arlington are tipped to cover as they make straightforward work of Houston.

The Renegades sent a message on the opening weekend and should have far too much for a terrible Roughnecks team led by a terrible head coach.

  • Arlington Renegades are 4-1 in their last 5 games
  • Houston Roughnecks are 1-10 since the UFL launched
  • Houston Roughnecks lost by 25 points in their season-opener
  • The Over cashed in Arlington’s season-opener

Head To Head

  • Houston Roughnecks lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Houston Roughnecks won 17-9 when the two teams last met in April 2024

Houston Roughnecks Form

Houston make the trip to Arlington looking to record only their second victory since the UFL was launched last year.

The Roughnecks, who were originally known as the Gamblers in the USFL, endured a miserable first season following the merger of the USFL and XFL.

They managed only one win during the regular season; a 17-9 victory over Sunday’s opponents Arlington.

Despite that 1-9 record Houston retained Curtis Johnson as head coach and did little to improve the roster, so it was no surprise when they were blown out in their 2025 opener.

The Roughnecks hosted St Louis for the league’s first outing of the year, and they were beaten 31-6 by the visiting Battlehawks.

Arlington Renegades Form

Arlington go into their second game of the season looking to build on their opening-day success.

The Renegades won the XFL Championship in 2023, but disappointed in the inaugural UFL season as they failed to make the playoffs.

They did finish the regular season strong though, winning three of their final four games, and they picked up from where they left off last weekend.

Arlington hosted a San Antonio team that made it all the way to the championship game a year ago, and they made a statement in a 33-9 victory.

The Renegades looked sharp on both sides of the football, and they will now look to avenge last season’s defeat to the Roughnecks.

Verdict

Arlington looked like a contender in Week 1, while Houston offered little in a blowout loss.

These two teams appear to be heading in very different directions, so we are confident about the Renegades delivering on Sunday.
