The 2023 XFL playoff schedule begins this weekend with the two division championships that will determine the XFL Championship in May. The No. 1 Houston Roughnecks are facing the No. 2 Arlington Renegades on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET, while the No. 1 D.C. Defenders face the No. 2 Seattle Sea Dragons on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. ET.  Seattle clinched the final spot in the playoffs with its 28-9 win over the Vegas Vipers last week to knock out the St. Louis Battlehawks. The Sea Dragons have gone 7-1 since their 0-2 start to the season, but they are facing the team with the best record in the XFL on Sunday.  

The two spots in the 2023 XFL Championship are up for grabs, and this will be another chance to win big in XFL DFS tournaments, cash games and 50-50s on DraftKings. If you're looking for advice on 2023 XFL DFS picks, you can't do any better than SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert, R.J. White.

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 NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks during the 2022 NFL season, 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 as sportsbooks scrambled to correctly evaluate team quality in a league where little was known heading into the season. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP!

Now, White has locked in his XFL Playoff semifinal DFS picks for the two-game slate this weekend and also is offering up his analysis.

For XFL DFS lineups, White is high on Arlington Renegades running back De'Veon Smith at $7,700.

"De'Veon Smith was held out last week with the Renegades' game ultimately being meaningless, but being active on game day leads me to believe he'll be fine for this playoff matchup," White said. "He's had a nose for the end zone in recent weeks, and running the offense through Smith gives Arlington the best chance to advance."

White is also targeting several players who could go off for MASSIVE numbers in XFL Playoff action! These picks could be the differences between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any lineups.
