The UFL is entering its last week of the regular season, and the opportunity to make money on it is still available. We’re one week away from playoffs. This week, we’ll be looking to see if the Battlehawks can win home-field advantage. Also, which team will win the first pick in the 2025 UFL Draft?
To add to the fun, we’re going to start a running bank total of fake money. Each week, there will be $10,000 in bets. Because who doesn’t have $10,000 lying around to bet on the UFL? I’m not telling you to bet $10K. I’m just showing you how I would split the unit on these games. Last week, we went 4-2 in the different picks. Let’s see what we have for UFL Week 10 best bets!

UFL Week 10 Picks, Predictions, and Best Bets
Michigan Panthers @ Birmingham Stallions (-8), Total: 43.5
The Panthers and the Stallions face off in Week 10 in a preview of the USFL division playoff. The Stallions lost their first game of the season last week, while the Panthers came from behind to beat the Roughnecks. Which side should we lean in the UFL Week 10 picks?
There’s no doubt that the Stallions are still the best team in the league despite losing a game. They have the best offense and one of the best defenses. Given that they face this same team next week, how hard will they really play? Will they sit Martinez, knowing that they have home-field advantage?
The same could be said for the Panthers. However, it does feel like the Panthers have more to prove. Will they start Lewerke just as last week? Or will they rest him and start Bryce Perkins, which is actually an upgrade? These teams will likely both hold back some, knowing that this game doesn’t fully matter. Aside from bragging rights, the USFL side of the UFL is all wrapped up.
UFL Week 10 Best Bet: Panthers +8 ($1,500)
San Antonio Brahmas @ St. Louis Battlehawks (-2.5), Total: 42.5
Unlike the previous game, this game does matter. The winner of this game gets home-field advantage in the playoff game next week. Even though neither team will want to show their full hand, both will be looking to wrap up a win. This is the game I feel the most confident about in my UFL Week 10 picks.
The Brahmas would love to win and avoid playing in the “Battle Dome” for the playoffs. The Battlehawks, on the other hand, would prefer to spend the next two weeks in the Battle Dome.
The Brahmas’ defense looked fierce last week, and they became the first team in the last three years to hold the Stallions under 10 points. Their offense left a little to be desired, but they still got the job done. It’s hard not to wonder if a win over the undefeated Stallions will leave a little bit of a hangover.
The Battlehawks got beat by Arlington last week, with McCarron still injured and not playing. It sounded like he could have played if absolutely needed. However, that game didn’t matter as much. This one matters. Anthony Becht and his squad will be ready to hush these Brahmas.
UFL Week 9 Best Bet: Battlehawks (-2.5) $3,500
Arlington Renegades @ DC Defenders (-2.5), Total: 46.5
Arlington showed up last week and really took it to the Battlehawks. You can say the Battlehawks weren’t playing as hard, with little to lose. I don’t buy it, though. I think Arlington has a sour taste in their mouth from how this season went and wants to go out on a high note.
The same could be said for the Defenders. They rolled last week as well, albeit against a much lesser team than the Battlehawks. Ta’amu looked solid in his performance against the Showboats, and they’ll also want to go out with a win in front of a home crowd.
This game is a tough one to pick for multiple reasons. First, I think Arlington is a much better team than their record shows. If you know me, you know that’s saying a lot, given that I’m not a Luis Perez believer. Second, I think DC will do everything they can to end the season at .500 and with a win at home.
However, there can only be one winner, and the Renegades are a better team on both sides of the ball. They should take it to DC and give them a disappointing day to end the season.

Houston Roughnecks (-2) @ Memphis Showboats, Total: 44.5
Daryl Johnston of the USFL side of things announced that the winner of this game will have the first pick in every round of the 2025 draft. It’s a smart move by the league to make this game more meaningful. Both of these teams have squeaked out only one win each. So, which one do we like in our UFL Week 10 picks?
The Roughnecks have actually looked good at times. Their defense plays strong, and the offense has scored a combined 50 points over the last two games, including a 28-point performance against the Stallions. However, they’ve also made a lot of mistakes on the field. Shooting themselves in the foot should be the logo for this team.
The Showboats, on the other hand, have rarely looked good. A team with a lot of hype coming into the season that could just never get anything going. Their defense left a lot to be desired, even with playmakers like Vontae Diggs and Jarey Elder. The offense has struggled as well, even with Case Cookus, Darius Victor, Jonathan Adams, and Sage Surratt.
Despite having a terrible offensive line, the overall result has to be blamed on coaching. Speaking of a horrible offensive line, this is a chance for the Roughnecks to show that they have a good defense. Curtis Johnson should have his guys ready to get after the quarterback as much as possible. They’re the worst team in the league in sacks, and it’s time to turn that around.
