Bet Seattle Sea Dragons to Win the Game

They needed a win on the final day of the regular season to make the playoffs, but the Seattle Sea Dragons finally punched their ticket to the postseason with a win over the Vegas Vipers. Seattle making the playoffs is a huge positive for the league, as the league’s leading passer in, Ben DiNucci, will have another chance to showcase his talents against the D.C. Defenders. After losing two heartbreaking games to the Defenders in the regular season, Seattle will look for revenge to make the title game.

The one area where DiNucci and the Sea Dragons’ offense has struggled at times this year is with turning the ball over. They turned the ball over several times in their first meeting with the Defenders, costing them that game. If Seattle can avoid those mistakes in this contest, they could upset the top seed in the North and play for the championship.

Bet D.C. Defenders to Win the Game

The D.C. Defenders have been the class of the XFL from the start of this season, finishing the year with the best record in the league. They went 9-1 this season and closed the regular season out with three straight wins. With their only loss being a huge fluke against an Orlando Guardians team that only won one game all year, the Defenders are the favorites to win the XFL championship going into the playoffs.

D.C. has been on fire offensively this season, scoring 28 points or more in eight straight games. If they can extend that streak to nine games in a row, they could cruise into the XFL title game. But their defense will be just as important as their offense, as the Defenders will have to find a way to slow down the potent passing attack of the Sea Dragons.

Sea Dragons vs Defenders: Keys to the Game

The number one key to this game is going to be the defense on both sides of this semifinal matchup in the XFL. There is no question that both of these teams are capable of putting up huge offensive numbers. But their ability to get stops on a consistent basis is much less of a given, and both teams will have to get creative to slow down the opposing passing attack.

Also key to this game could be the home-field advantage that the Defenders have enjoyed this year. D.C. has one of the raucous crowds in the XFL, with their crowd noise in the end zones being especially tough for opponents to deal with. Look for field position to be huge for the Sea Dragons to avoid having to deal with that crowd noise.
