UFL Week 7 bets

• D.C. -5.5 vs. Louisville

• Birmingham -3 vs. Columbus

Orlando +1.5 vs. Dallas

It has been an unprecedented slide for the Dallas Renegades, who at one point looked like the best team in the UFL, armed with what appeared to be the league's MVP in QB Austin Reed. Since Week 4, it has been all downhill for both Reed and the Renegades. Orlando still found a way to win an ugly game last week against Houston but didn't play particularly well offensively. Look for this to be the get-right spot for its offensive attack, as the Storm defense can feast on a Renegades offense that's in a free-fall. Those struggles are why I'm also leaning Under 45.5 on the total.
