After two weeks of action, the books have now installed the Defenders as slim favorites over the Roughnecks to win the XFL Championship.

The Defenders, led by former Ohio State star Cardale Jones, had an impressive showing for the second straight week. The Defenders' defense was superb, recording the first shutout of the XFL season, dominating the New York Guardians 27-0. DC, who opened the year at odds of 8-1 prior, have dropped all the way down to odds of 2/1.

As for the Roughnecks, June Jones’ offense looked strong once again with quarterback P.J. Walker piloting the highest-scoring team in the league at 37.5 points per game.
