The 2023 XFL Playoffs will begin this weekend with the XFL Division Championships taking place on Saturday and Sunday. In the XFL South, the Arlington Renegades will visit the Houston Roughnecks for a 4 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday. Then in the XFL North, the Seattle Sea Dragons will travel to take on the D.C. Defenders in a 12 p.m. ET kick on Sunday. Before locking in any XFL Division Championship bets, you definitely want to see what SportsLine football expert Emory Hunt has to say. 

Hunt is the founder and CEO of Football Gameplan, which has been supplying analysis of all levels of football since 2007. He is a former running back for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns and knows the game from a player's perspective. Hunt's dedication to analysis of all levels of college and professional football helped him start the USFL season 24-18 last year, and now he's off to a fast 24-16 start on his XFL spread picks this season. 

Now Hunt has broken down the XFL Division Championships and made his spread picks for every game. We can tell you that he's backing Houston (-6.5)  in the Renegades vs. Rougnecks matchup.

"By virtue of finishing in 2nd place in the South Division, the Arlington Renegades find themselves in the playoffs. Nothing they've done offensively all season long will have them ready to go toe-to-toe with the Roughnecks," Hunt said. "What we saw last week between these two, will be what we'll see this weekend with a trip to the XFL Championship Game on the line."

Hunt has also locked in a play for the XFL North championship. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before making any of your own.
