This is the first I've heard of it. I never heard it advertised. And they are going to televise a couple of games. Well...if they put lines on 'em, I'm down lol

I see. At betdsi they have a prop on whether any AAF player will be investigated for wager fixing. That's pretty funny.

These new league's are gonna have to do something unique to survive.

Have them play both sides of the ball, offense and defense.

Yeah, like GPS tags on the inside ends of the football or whatever technology that would make it accurate to place the ball exactly where its supposed to be......they need to be inventive in ways the NFL is not, & they need to have "integrity" along the way, lol.

Expect books to make huge mistakes on lines and get their ass handed to them on a limited basis because they will hold the limits down. Still if you are a small sharp bettor you should be able to clean up.

something small and also reason to watch a bit and see whats going on one idea is to parlay or round robin all the opening game overs and unders separate. the flow of the games, the different rules and impact on scoring should be similar between the games and perhaps the lines total makers are just guessing right now but are off in general. I think there are 4 opening games fri - Sunday? shop around totals a bit.

I recall (hope Im right its been long time) the XFL early games were high % unders.

maybe they'll be basing some of their lines off of some of the NFL rejects that are on the teams some of the guys are pretty decent or we're pretty decent at one point on NFL teams

Have hockey style fights. That would create some interest.

Orlando -4 to -5.5
San Antonio -2.5 to -3.5
Birmingham -2.5 to -3.5
Arizona -3.5 to -4.5

Spreads are all over the place as you can see. Middle opportunities abound.

All 4 games are on TV and interestingly enough the NFL Network is showing one of them.

looking good, one to go

I see today finally the total on last day dropped 5 points or so. dont play under that total now.

(you could almost go over 45 and go for a middle or monster middle.



sitting pretty lets get the last leg for the round robin sweeper...

I've watched 3 games so far and surprisinigly it's better than the NFL in many ways.
Not as many commercials. There is not an automatic flag on punts. Replay challange
takes less than a minute to resolve. The refs actually let the defenders hit the QB.
Runs of 15 yards or more are not negated by holding calls. No kickoffs or extra points.
The game moves along at a faster pace. The talent isn't great but it is equal.
Will it survive? Who knows but one thing, it fills a void.
