XFL scores, updates, highlights in Week 4: Roughnecks outlast Renegades; Vipers dominate Defenders

Recapping both of Sunday's big games in the XFL

Two of the XFL's best teams took the field Sunday, but neither was considered a big favorite after a Week 3 schedule that shook up the league standings. First up were the Houston Roughnecks, who looked to remain the XFL's lone undefeated team in a road matchup with the Dallas Renegades and then did so, capitalizing off five Renegades turnovers to win by seven. Then, to close out Sunday's slate, the once-vaunted DC Defenders got a crack at redemption in a showdown with Marc Trestman's Tampa Bay Vipers and totally failed, falling victim to the Vipers' rejuvenated offense in a 25-0 beat-down. It was the second-straight blowout loss for DC, after opening the season with two blowout wins.

Whether you've been locked in since the league's inception or are just dipping your toe into the water now, CBS Sports' XFL coverage is here for you. For a closer look at Saturday's action, when the New York Guardians and St. Louis BattleHawks came away with victories, click here.

Also interesting that Sunday's games feature two road favorites. Away teams have not had the prettiest record thus far in the XFL. In fact, the Renegades entered this week with more road wins (2) than the rest of the XFL combined. Speaks volumes about how much oddsmakers respect Houston and DC, arguably the top two teams in the league (sorry, BattleHawks fans). P.J. Walker has been a points machine for the Roughnecks, and Pep Hamilton's squad is chock-full of NFL-caliber starters despite a Week 3 slip-up.

 

Welcome aboard, everyone. As we approach our first Sunday kickoff, a final look at some of the William Hill spreads for today's XFL matchups, both of which feature some of the season's early favorites (DC, Houston):

Rougnecks (-2.5) at Renegades
(Money Line: -150 Roughnecks, +130 Renegades)

Defenders (-4.5) at Vipers
(Money Line: -190 Defenders, +170 Vipers)
