Line | St. Louis Battlehawks -4 | O/U 46 |
The St. Louis Battlehawks enter their regular-season finale with momentum, having secured their postseason spot with a gritty 21–15 victory over the Houston Gamblers. Now, they return to St. Louis to face a Dallas Renegades team that is looking to close out a difficult season on a high note. The Renegades, who opened the year with a promising 3–0 start, have struggled significantly since, dropping six consecutive games and falling out of playoff contention.
St. Louis is focused on fine-tuning their offense before the playoffs, specifically building on the chemistry between quarterback Luis Perez and his receivers. Perez, a mid-season trade acquisition from Dallas, has become a key piece for the Battlehawks’ postseason aspirations.
For Dallas, the final game of the year is about pride and individual auditions for future NFL and UFL opportunities. Coach Rick Neuheisel’s squad is looking to shake off a disappointing 37–23 loss to the Louisville Kings. Following his struggles in that game—where he completed just 7 of 21 passes and threw a late interception—Austin Reed was benched late in the fourth quarter for backup Luke Lehnen. Heading into this matchup, there is ongoing speculation about whether Dallas will turn to Lehnen to give him a chance to showcase his skills for the 2027 season.
Players to Watch:
Luis Perez (Battlehawks, QB): Looking to sharpen his rhythm with the offense as the team prepares for a deep playoff run.
Hakeem Butler (Battlehawks, WR): The team’s primary deep-threat weapon and leading receiver.
Luke Lehnen (Renegades, QB): A player to watch for a potential start or significant reps as Dallas evaluates its future at the quarterback position.
Pick: Battlehawks 24-13. Dallas has nothing left in the tank after that crushing loss to Louisville.
