Recapping a Profitable Week 6
Week 6 brought fireworks. The Doc hit on six of eight bets, delivering a 7.79-unit profit. It started rocky, with Arlington falling apart. Four turnovers, 11 penalties, and a missed field goal doomed them. Their starting running back also exited with an injury. Despite outplaying St. Louis, Arlington couldn’t execute. St. Louis managed the win, helped by their raucous home crowd.
From there, it was all green. Memphis covered again, though their season is marked by narrow losses. Michigan absolutely routed DC behind the electric Bryce Perkins. The Panthers’ quarterback dazzled with highlight runs and precision passing. Birmingham beat San Antonio in a snoozer, while unders and sides hit across the board. Player props were gold. Dresser Winn cashed a +550 touchdown. Kevin Hogan crushed his yardage lines. It was a betting clinic.
Updated Power Rankings Entering Week 7
For the updated power rankings, the Michigan Panthers top the board. Bryce Perkins has transformed this offense. He’s dynamic, elusive, and simply refuses to be tackled. DC remains strong, despite a beatdown from Michigan. They’ve beaten contenders like St. Louis, Birmingham, and Arlington.
St. Louis and Birmingham are built similarly—stingy defenses and injured, unreliable offenses. Arlington has top-tier talent but continues to implode with penalties and turnovers. Houston sits at 3-3 and faces a pivotal matchup this week. Memphis is better than its 1-5 record suggests. San Antonio is in freefall. Once nearly champions, the Brahmas are now a weekly fade.
UFL Trade Buzz and Injury Fallout
There was actual trade action this week. Memphis shipped wide receiver Dee Anderson to San Antonio for cornerback Darius Phillips. Anderson had a connection with quarterback Dresser Winn, but Memphis is likely getting wide receiver Davis back. Phillips, meanwhile, adds depth to Memphis’s already strong secondary.
San Antonio desperately needed wide receiver help. They have the league’s worst passing attack and most drops. Anderson should become an immediate contributor. Phillips brings experience, but is currently banged up.
St. Louis took a major blow. Guard Abdul Beacham has been placed on IR. He anchored the league’s best rushing attack. When he’s out, the line suffers. Michigan also lost some rotational defenders. Elsewhere, quarterback injuries continue to plague Birmingham. Matt Corral is out, and backup Alex McGough remains sidelined. They signed Jalen Morton, who may be forced into action. Running backs Kaelin Ballage (Arlington) and Anthony McFarland (San Antonio) are both unlikely to play.
DC Defenders at San Antonio Brahmas
This game screams revenge. San Antonio shocked DC in Week 4. Now, the Defenders are six-and-a-half point road favorites. They outgained San Antonio by nearly 200 yards in that earlier loss. DC was caught sleepwalking. That won’t happen again.
San Antonio has since been destroyed by 47 combined points over two weeks. They can’t score. They can’t defend. Their quarterback play is abysmal. Key offensive players are injured. DC is dealing with injuries, too, particularly at safety. But they have the coaching and playmakers to overcome it.
This one shouldn’t be close. The Doc’s UFL Week 7 best bet is DC -6.5. He’s also sprinkling on an alternate line at -11 for plus money. San Antonio has flatlined, and DC will make a statement.
Michigan Panthers at Arlington Renegades
Michigan sits atop the power rankings. Bryce Perkins is the league’s best player. Arlington is talented but undisciplined. They also seem to lead the league in self-inflicted wounds. Last week, they lost because of four turnovers, 11 penalties, and a missed field goal. The team imploded despite outplaying St. Louis.
Arlington will likely be without running back Kaelin Ballage again, and that’s a problem. He led the league in rushing before his injury. The starting center may also miss time. Michigan is banged up, too, especially on defense. However, they remain the more complete team.
It’s basically a pick ‘em. So take the team with the better quarterback, fewer mistakes, and more momentum. The Doc is on Michigan -1 for his UFL Week 7 best bets.
Houston Roughnecks at Birmingham Stallions
This is the game of the week with both teams in playoff contention. Birmingham is favored by 6.5, but this feels too high. Houston is finally stable at quarterback with Jalen McClendon. He has provided real production, and in their last meeting, he passed for over 250 yards in three quarters.
Birmingham’s defense is elite against the run but weak against the pass. They’ve become undisciplined, racking up penalties and turnovers. Injuries have also crushed their quarterback room. Houston, meanwhile, is winning the turnover battle and playing efficient football.
The Doc is backing Houston +6.5 and taking a shot on the moneyline at +255. He also likes the under 38.5. Both offenses are shaky, but the defenses should control the pace.
St. Louis Battlehawks at Memphis Showboats
St. Louis is 4-2 but flawed, especially on the road. Max Duggan has struggled mightily throwing the ball. Memphis, on the other hand, is scrappy. Dresser Winn provides stability, and they boast the UFL’s No. 2 pass defense.
Losing guard Abdul Beacham hurts St. Louis, and their offensive line is now shuffled again. If they can’t run, they’re in trouble. Memphis has also picked up talented corner Darius Phillips. Meanwhile, wide receiver Davis may return, giving Winn another weapon.
This should be close, and The Doc likes Memphis +4. He also likes under 39. Both offenses lack firepower, but their defenses are respectable. Watch out, Memphis could pull the upset.
Final Best Bets Recap
The Degen Doc is rolling with DC -6.5 as his top bet. He’s also doubling down on an alternate line at -11. The Doc also loves Houston +6.5 and the moneyline. Michigan -1 makes the cut, too, along with Memphis +4. Both unders in the Sunday games are in play. UFL Week 7 is here, and these are our best bets. Let’s cash some more tickets.
