DC Defenders at Birmingham Stallions Predictions & Picks

DC are tipped to cover as they make it four wins in a row in the UFL.

The Defenders offense has been firing since that season-opening loss, while the Stallions are in crisis and just had a player publicly call out the coaches as he quit the team.

  • DC Defenders are on a 3-game win streak
  • Birmingham Stallions have lost their previous 3 games
  • Birmingham Stallions are 0-4-0 ATS this season
  • 3 of Birmingham’s 4 games have produced under 45.5 total points

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied 1-1
  • DC Defenders won 18-11 when the two teams last met in March 2025

DC Defenders Form

DC head back out on the road having won three consecutive games to improve their record to 3-1.

The Defenders began their defence of the UFL crown with a 16-10 defeat in St Louis, but their response to that loss has been strong.

They got off the mark a week later as they took down league newcomers Columbus on the road, 44-26.

DC backed that up a week later with their most convincing victory of the season so far – a 45-7 blowout of Houston at home.

The Defenders then made it three-in-a-row last weekend as they avenged their Week 1 defeat with a 28-22 home success against the Battlehawks.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham are the complete opposite of the Defenders – they have now lost three straight games to fall to 1-3.

The Stallions’ reign over spring football was finally ended last season, and in the offseason they underwent some significant changes, including a change of head coach.

AJ McCarron enjoyed a successful start to his reign as his team won 15-13 in Louisville, but it has been all downhill ever since.

Birmingham were beaten 22-20 in Houston, before moving on to St Louis for a 34-30 loss to the Battlehawks.

The Stallions’ skid then reached three games last weekend as they were shutout in their home opener, losing 16-10 to Orlando.

Verdict

This matchup features two teams headed in very different directions at this time.

DC are in good form and are firing offensively, so we expect them to win and cover in this Week 5 opener.
