San Diego Legion-Dallas Jackals

The San Diego Legion has been on top of the Western Conference all season and has won 6 straight matches. On the other side of the field, the Dallas Jackals have struggled this season losing 5 of their last 6 matches. The Jackals will be looking to avenge a 22-0 loss to the Legion from last month.

The Legion are coming off a dominant win over the Chicago Hounds at home. San Diego's high-powered offense allowed them to pull away from the Hounds in the second half. They will be headed to Dallas to face the Jackals this weekend.

The Jackals joined the MLR last season and finished in last place. They had hoped this season would be better but it hasn't been any different. The results have remained the same.

While everything seems to be going the Legion's way this will be a perfect opportunity to play spoiler for the Jackals. I'm going to take a closer look at what these odds would be for a potential upset.

San Diego Legion-Dallas Jackals Best Bets

If the Jackals were able to pull off this upset it would shock not only the league but the gambling world as well. The Jackals are priced as +525 underdogs, indicating a 16% chance they win.

As much as I would like to recommend backing an underdog those odds are long for a reason. I cannot recommend betting on the Jackals on the money line in this matchup. However, the spread is another thing.

Ironworkers-SaberCats

The matchup between the Ironworkers and the SaberCats is highly anticipated due to both teams performing so well this season. The SaberCats are second in the Western Conference and the Ironworkers are second in the Eastern Conference.

The Ironworkers are looking to bounce back after a loss to the Old Glory last weekend. They lost a 12-point halftime lead and allowed 30 second-half points to DC's squad.

The SaberCats meanwhile are coming off a 33-21 victory over the Jackals. Oddsmakers have indicated that despite the difference in records the Ironworkers are the favorite. I don't agree with them.

This feels like a great opportunity to take advantage of the oddsmaker's mistake. The odds of +166 seem very favorable to SaberCats bettors.

I would recommend betting on the SaberCats to upset the Ironworkers this weekend.
