UFL Top 10 Plays From Week 5

The Birmingham Stallions opened as the favorites at +190. But after the D.C. Defenders upset Birmingham in Week 1, the Stallions moved to +275.

Over the last week, Birmingham’s odds moved to +310 from +200, but the Stallions are still the favorites in this spot. However, at 3-2 and with half the season left to play, Birmingham has now lost twice as many games in 2025 as it did in 2024.

Next on the board are the D.C. Defenders, who moved to +350 from +425 after going to Arlington as 3-point underdogs and defeating the Renegades.

Tied with the Defenders at +350 are the Battlehawks, who moved from +550.

One squad that bettors might want to watch is Houston. The Roughnecks’ title futures surged up the board to +1300 all the way from +4500.

“Houston’s offense has produced more in the past three games than it had in the previous two, and the biggest reason for the change is QB Jalan McClendon,” FOX Sports National Football Analyst RJ Young wrote in his most recent power rankings.

“With McClendon at quarterback, the Roughnecks not only look like a different team, but they’re the hottest team in the USFL Conference.”
