Louisville Kings at Houston Gamblers Predictions & Picks

Louisville are tipped to finally get off the mark with a victory in Houston.

The Kings may be winless after three weeks but they have been knocking on the door, while the Gamblers have given up a ton of points and are struggling badly on offense.

  • Louisville Kings are 2-1-0 ATS after their 3 games
  • Houston Gamblers are 1-2 so far this season
  • Houston Gamblers games are averaging 49.0 total points
  • Houston Gamblers have allowed a league-high 101 points so far

Head To Head

  • This is the first time that the two teams have played each other

Louisville Kings Form

Louisville head to Houston still seeing a first win in team history, having lost their first three games of the season.

The Kings – introduced to the UFL in the offseason – made their league debut with a 15-13 home defeat to Birmingham.

That loss was then followed by back-to-back defeats at the hands of fellow league newcomers, Orlando.

Louisville were beaten 19-9 on the road by the Storm, but ran them much closer when the two teams met again at Lynn Family Stadium.

However, the Kings again came up short as a bizarre overtime rule gifted a 29-27 victory to Orlando to leave the home team with an 0-3 record. 

Houston Gamblers Form

Houston enter this matchup in desperate need of a morale-boosting win, having fallen to 1-2 with a brutal defeat a week ago.

The Gamblers kicked off the campaign with a ‘Texas Showdown’ against Dallas, and they were no match for Austin Reed and the Renegades offense as they fell to a 36-17 defeat.

They issued an ideal response in their home opener, as they pulled off a surprise 22-20 victory at home to Birmingham, but their joy was short-lived.

Houston failed to get anything going on offense and got gashed on defense as they suffered the heaviest defeat seen in the UFL so far this season.

The Gamblers were beaten 45-7 by the defending champion DC Defenders at Audi Field.

Verdict

Louisville suffered a heart-breaker last time out, but we expect them to bounce back from that disappointment with their first ever win.

An improving Kings offense can build on last week’s showing to ensure they leave ‘H-town’ with the victory.
