Through the first two weeks of the 2020 XFL season, a top contender for the XFL title has emerged in each conference. The DC Defenders, boasting a stifling defense and led on offense by former Ohio State star Cardale Jones – who has looked NFL ready during his time in the XFL – is 2-0 following a 27-0 blowout win over the New York Guardians. In the West, Houston quarterback P.J. Walker is a leading MVP candidate, and has his Roughnecks at 2-0 in what appears to be an otherwise weak conference.
Both undefeated teams will go on the road in Week 3, but DC and Houston are favored to move to 3-0 this weekend. The two title game favorites are one month away from a potential championship preview, as the Roughnecks will host the Defenders on March 22nd. Still, we don’t have a third of the season in the books, and anything can happen.
Here’s the full rundown of matchups in Week 3. All betting information via BetMGM.
