St Louis Battlehawks at Houston Gamblers Predictions & Picks

Houston are tipped to cover as a home betting underdog against the Battlehawks.

The Gamblers pulled on an upset in St Louis a week ago, and they have quietly been one of the league’s most reliable spread bets for several weeks now.

  • Houston Gamblers are 5-2-0 ATS in their last 7 games
  • Houston Gamblers beat St Louis by 7 points on the road last week
  • 2 of St Louis Battlehawks 3 defeats this season came on the road
  • 3 of Houston Gamblers’ last 4 games produced under 42.5 total points

Head To Head

  • St Louis Battlehawks lead the all-time series 2-1
  • Houston Gamblers won 23-16 when the two teams last met on May 16

St Louis Battlehawks Form

St Louis head to Houston looking to avenge last week’s loss to the Gamblers, which halted a three-game win streak and dropped them to 5-3.

The Battlehawks opened the season with a 16-10 win at home to defending champions DC, but struggled for consistency over the next few weeks.

They sandwiched a 34-30 victory at home to Birmingham with road defeats at Dallas, 31-15, and DC, 28-22.

St Louis found some form in late April though, following up a 25-17 victory in Orlando with a 16-3 success at Louisville and a 31-20 win at home to Columbus.

The Battlehawks failed to make it four-in-a-row though, as they suffered a surprise 23-16 defeat against Houston last weekend.

Houston Gamblers Form

Houston kept their slim playoff hopes alive last weekend as they snapped a two-game losing sequence to improve to 3-5.

The Gamblers kicked of the campaign with a 36-17 defeat in Dallas, and although they rebounded to beat Birmingham 22-20 in their home opener, they have largely struggled ever since.

A 45-7 blowout defeat in DC was followed by a 24-22 overtime loss at home to Louisville.

Houston then failed to follow up a 17-13 victory against Columbus as they lost 24-17 at the Aviators and 24-23 at home to Orlando.

The Gamblers did avoid a third consecutive defeat though, upsetting the Battlehawks in St Louis last time out, 23-16.

Verdict

It would be no surprise to see St Louis get revenge here, but those free points are tempting.

Houston have one of the best spread betting records in the league after eight weeks, so give us the Gamblers and the free points.
