Two struggling teams clash as Columbus visits Houston, while Louisville looks to build momentum against Dallas.
This Week's UFL Schedule
Columbus Aviators at Houston Gamblers
| When | Sunday, April 26 at 4:00 PM ET |
| Where | Shell Energy Stadium, Houston |
| TV | ABC |
| Line | Columbus Aviators -4 | O/U 46 |
Both teams sit at 1-3, but Columbus is riding high after torching Dallas 28-14 last week with 202 rushing yards. Houston just made another secondary change, releasing Carlton Johnson for Ra'Mello Dotson after giving up big plays all season.
Players to Watch:
- Marcus Yarns (Gamblers, RB) — League's fourth-leading rusher with 185 yards despite Houston's offensive struggles
- Perrion Winfrey (Aviators, DT) — 2025 All-UFL defender signed Tuesday after Birmingham cut him loose
- Ra'Mello Dotson (Gamblers, CB) — New secondary addition trying to shore up Houston's leaky pass defense
Pick: Columbus 24-17. The Aviators' ground game will control this matchup against a Houston defense that's allowed 125 points through four games.
Louisville Kings at Dallas Renegades
| When | Sunday, April 26 at 7:00 PM ET |
| Where | Toyota Stadium, Frisco, TX |
| TV | ABC |
| Line | Dallas Renegades -8 | O/U 48 |
Louisville finally broke through with an overtime win over Houston last week and now faces the league's MVP frontrunner in Austin Reed. Dallas is coming off its first loss but still leads the league in scoring defense, allowing just 20.8 points per game.
Players to Watch:
- Austin Reed (Renegades, QB) — Current MVP favorite with 907 yards and 11 TDs despite struggles against Columbus
- Tyler Vaughns (Renegades, WR) — League's leading receiver with 28 catches for 390 yards and four scores
- Mike DiLiello (Kings, QB) — Recently acquired quarterback looking to spark Louisville's offense in his first start
Pick: Dallas 27-20. Reed bounces back at home, but Louisville's newfound confidence keeps this closer than the spread suggests.
