Week 3 of the 2020 XFL season continues on Sunday with a pair of games as the New York Guardians visit the St. Louis BattleHawks at 3 p.m. ET and the Los Angeles Wildcats host the DC Defenders at 6 p.m. ET. The Guardians and BattleHawks are coming off losses, while the Defenders look to remain undefeated and the Wildcats seek their first victory. St. Louis is favored by 10 according to the latest XFL odds, while the current XFL spreads show the Defenders as eight-point road favorites.
Will Jordan Ta'amu keep piling up yards both through the air and on the ground and get the BattleHawks back in the win column? And can Cardale Jones continue his efficient passing to help keep the Defenders perfect? All of the latest Week 3 XFL lines are listed below, and SportsLine's pro football expert R.J. White has all the XFL betting advice and predictions you need to make the best Week 3 XFL picks now.
Winning XFL predictions from a proven expert
Twice recently, White cashed big in the world's most prestigious handicapping tournament, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest. He tied for 18th out of 2,748 contestants in 2017 with a 52-29-4 mark against the spread. It wasn't a fluke, either, as he also cashed big-time in the 2015 SuperContest.
White consistently crushes the NFL for SportsLine members. He has returned over $2,300 to $100 players on against-the-spread picks over the last three years. He also has his finger on the pulse of the XFL, going 7-1 on against the spread picks during the league's first two weeks of action. He then went a perfect 2-0 on Saturday to improve his record to 9-1. Anyone who has followed him is way up. Now, White has examined the latest Week 3 XFL odds and lines for Sunday and his predictions are in.
Week 3 XFL picks to target
One of White's strongest XFL picks for Sunday is that the under (40.5) hits when the BattleHawks play their home-opener against the Guardians at 3 p.m. ET.
New York was on the wrong side of the first shutout in the league last week, and for good reason, as it recorded a mere five first downs and gained 137 total yards. The Guardians averaged only 2.9 yards per play and starting quarterback Matt McGloin was pulled after going 8-of-19 for just 44 yards while throwing two interceptions.
St. Louis' defense is capable of keeping New York out of the end zone again, as it did not allow a touchdown in its season-opener against Dallas before surrendering four versus Houston last week. If the Guardians can find a way to slow down Ta'amu, this game should sail under the total. The BattleHawks quarterback, who ranks second in the XFL in passing yards (493) and third in rushing (109), threw three TD passes and ran for another score against the Renegades.
White also has made the call against the spread and on the over-under for every other game on Sunday's Week 3 XFL schedule. He's also found a personnel advantage that has him going big on one team, so you need to see his XFL picks before locking in any of your own. Get every pick for every game here.
