2023 XFL odds, line, spread picks: Week 9 predictions from pro football expert includes Guardians among best bets

The Arlington Renegades can clinch a spot in the South Division championship game when they take on the DC Defenders on Sunday at Audi Field in Washington D.C. With two weeks left in the regular season, the Renegades (4-4) sit in second place in the South, two games ahead of third place San Antonio (2-6). The top two teams in each division reach the division championship games. Meanwhile the Defenders (7-1) already have clinched a berth in the North Division championship game.

Kickoff is 12 p.m. ET. DC is a 8.5-point favorite in the latest Defenders vs. Renegades odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 41.5. Elsewhere in the league, the Vipers hit the road to face the Roughnecks, the Brahmas host the Guardians and the Sea Dragons and Battlehawks battle in St. Louis. 

Before you make any Renegades vs. Defenders picks or XFL predictions, you need to hear what pro football expert R.J. White has to say.

White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. He also closed the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 run on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks, returning more than $1,800 for $100 bettors.

White has crushed not only the NFL but also the XFL during its abbreviated 2020 season, going 16-4 on XFL ATS picks before the league suspended operations. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP.

Now, White has locked in four plays for Week 9. We can tell you that he's picking the Guardians (+1.5) to cover against the Brahmas. "I have the Guardians with Quinten Dormady at QB well ahead of the Brahmas in my power ratings, and I'd make this line Orlando -2," White told SportsLine.

White also has three other plays in Week 9, including one on a team moving "in the right direction." You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before making any of your own.
