DC Defenders at Vegas Vipers Preview & Picks

Vegas Vipers are backed to cover as a home betting favorite.

The Vipers would be 1-0 had it not been for two pick sixes, so better ball protection is needed.

They do boast a strong defense though, and it should have few problems slowing down this one-dimensional DC offense.

  • Vegas Vipers are 1-0-0 ATS so far this season
  • Home teams were 3-1 in Week 1 of the 2023 XFL season
  • Vegas’ defense gave up just 9 total points in Week 1
  • DC’s offense scored only 16 points in the Week 1 win

Head To Head

  • Vegas Vipers lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Vegas Vipers (then Tampa Bay) won 25-0 when the teams last met in March 2020

DC Defenders Form

The DC Defenders head out on the road for the first time with a 1-0 record thanks to a Week 1 win.

DC started the 2020 season with a home win against Seattle, and they repeated that on Sunday night.

This victory was a lot less convincing though, as they trailed for much of the game before a huge pick six turned things around.

The Defenders trailed by 10 points midway through the third quarter, but Michael Joseph swung the game in their favor with a big pick six.

He had another in the fourth quarter too, setting up D’Eriq King for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown.

Vegas Vipers Form

Vegas go into their home opener looking to bounce back from an opening-day defeat in Arlington.

The Vipers held a 14-3 lead at half-time thanks to a couple of touchdown catches from Jeff Badet.

Luis Perez threw three more touchdown passes in the second half, but unfortunately for him two of them were costly pick sixes to Renegades players.

Despite those mistakes, Vegas did get one last chance to rescue the game with 49 seconds to go.

Perez led them downfield and hit Cinque Sweeting for a touchdown with 12 seconds remaining, but their attempt to force overtime with a two-point conversion attempt ended in failure.

Verdict

Pick sixes aside, it was a decent first outing from Vegas, on the road against a favorite.

DC, on the other hand, look far too one-dimensional on offense, and that spells trouble against a solid Vipers defense.
