The Arlington Renegades look for a second straight win as they visit the San Antonio Brahmas. It is time to continue our UFL odds series with a Renegades-Brahmas prediction and pick.
The Renegades are coming in off of their first win of the year. After a one-point loss in week six, the Renegades came back last week and got their first win. They faced the Memphis Showboats in the game and were dominant. They put up 47 points and would win 47-23. The Brahmas are also coming in off a win. They faced the Houston Roughnecks last week and would hit a field goal as time expired to take the win over the Roughnecks. That was their third win in the last four games.

Final Renegades-Brahmas Prediction & Pick
The Renegades struggled to find wins this year, but the offense has been stellar. It has gotten better each week and has plenty of scoring threats. Further, the defense has improved some. The Brahmas do not have a bad offense overall. The biggest area of contention in this game will come on the line of scrimmage. Luis Perez has been sacked a lot this year, as has Quinten Dormandy. Both teams have solid pass rushes. This should create some chaos, and keep it close overall.
