Houston Roughnecks at St Louis Battlehawks Preview & Picks

St Louis are tipped to cover the spread in a blowout win.

The Battlehawks’ offense has been red-hot in recent weeks and Houston cannot match this level of firepower.

  • St Louis Battlehawks are on a 4-game win streak
  • St Louis Battlehawks are 3-0-0 ATS in their last 3 games
  • Houston Roughnecks are 1-4 through their first 5 games
  • The Over has cashed in each of St Louis’ last 4 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

Houston Roughnecks Form

Houston enter this matchup in desperate need of a victory after falling to 1-4 with a defeat last weekend.

The Roughnecks opened the season in disappointing fashion as they were beaten 18-12 at home by Memphis.

They then went out on the road to lose their next two games, 23-18 in DC and 34-20 at Michigan, before finally getting off the mark on Week 4.

Houston returned home and battled their way to a 17-9 victory over Arlington in a low-scoring grind.

However, the Roughnecks were unable to back that up, suffering a 32-9 blowout defeat at home to Birmingham in Week 5.

St Louis Battlehawks Form

St Louis come into this game in red-hot form, having rebounded from a season-opening loss with four consecutive wins.

The Battlehawks offense spluttered in Week 1 as a last-gasp field goal condemned them to an 18-16 defeat at Michigan.

They bounced back a week later as a late field goal lifted them to a 27-24 win over Arlington in their home opener, and they built on that a week later by winning 31-24 in San Antonio.

St Louis made it three-in-a-row a week later, beating Memphis 32-17, but the best was yet to come.

The Battlehawks put up a season-high total in Week 5 as they stormed to a 45-12 victory over the DC Defenders on the road.

Verdict

While Birmingham are 5-0, St Louis are arguably the hottest team in the UFL right now.

AJ McCarron and the offense is firing on all cylinders, and we expect them to be too hot for Houston to handle.
