Vegas Vipers Form
Vegas go into this game with a 2-6 record that has ended their chances of making the playoffs.
The Vipers started the season with a four-game losing skid that began with a 22-20 defeat in Arlington.
They then lost back-to-back home games against DC, 18-6, and the Seattle, 30-26, before heading out on the road to lose 32-18 to the Defenders.
Vegas finally got off the mark at the fifth attempt with a 35-32 win against Orlando, but their joy was short-lived.
The Vipers were blown out 29-6 by St Louis a week later, only to rebound with a 26-12 victory over the San Antonio in their final home game of the season.
They again failed to register back-to-back wins though, suffering a 21-17 overtime defeat in St Louis last weekend.
Houston Roughnecks Form
Houston come into this game with a 5-3 record and a spot in the playoffs already secured.
The Roughnecks made a fast start to the 2023 regular season as they reeled off three consecutive wins.
They beat Orlando 33-12, Arlington 23-14 and San Antonio 22-13, before heading out on the road to blow out the Guardians 44-16.
Houston’s streak ended there though, as they then lost three straight games against the best the North Division has to offer.
The Roughnecks lost 21-14 in Seattle and 37-26 in DC, before returning home for a 24-15 defeat at the hands of St Louis.
They finally snapped their skid a week ago, but they made hard work of it as they beat San Antonio 17-15 in overtime, on the road, to clinch a playoff place.
