Week 3 of the 2023 XFL season is in the books. Last week's games were all tight competitive matchups. Unlike the previous week, all four games in Week 3 were decided by nine points or fewer, including two by four or fewer points.
Week 4 has a couple of appealing matchups. However, it also features two 3-0 vs. 0-3 record matchups that likely won't be close. Yet, there is always money to make, so let's look at some potential XFL bets you should make this week.

San Antonio Brahmas vs. Seattle Sea Dragons
The first matchup on Saturday is a battle between an elite team and an awful one. However, the second game should be a closer contest. San Antonio has a 1-2 record following their 22-13 loss against the Roughnecks last week. Yet, they've played well this season. The Brahmas have averaged 19.3 points per game this year, including 30 in their Week 2 victory over the Guardians. Meanwhile, San Antonio has held their opponents to 17.3 points per game this season.
Meanwhile, the Sea Dragons finally got their first win of the year last week. They defeated the Vegas Vipers 30-26, giving them a 1-2 record for the season. While they have a losing record, Seattle hasn't struggled to score points. The Sea Dragons have averaged 22 points per game this season, scoring at least 18 in every matchup. Meanwhile, their problems have come on defense. Opposing teams have averaged 22.7 points per game against Seattle this year, scoring 20 or more in every matchup.
These two teams have had fairly high-scoring matchups every week this year. The total points scored in the three San Antonio games this season have averaged 36.6 points per contest. Meanwhile, the total has been an average of 44.7 points in the three Seattle games this season. Combined, these two teams have averaged an over/under total of 40.7 points this year. In a matchup between two 1-2 teams, it's hard to predict a winner. Instead, bettors should take the over.
