The St Louis Battlehawks are tipped to cover the spread and advance to the United Bowl as they host the surging Louisville Kings. Despite Louisville’s impressive run—winning 6 of their last 7 games—the Battlehawks not only won the previous matchup on the road but now boast significant home advantage. Both teams ended the regular season with strong records, but with St Louis excelling at home and leading the head-to-head series, the recommendation is to back the Battlehawks for the win.

Louisville Kings Have Won 6 Of Last 7 Games

Louisville enter the playoffs in fantastic form, having won six of their final seven regular season games to book a trip to the postseason.

The Kings entered the league in the offseason, and made a rough start as they fell 15-13 to Birmingham, before losing back-to-back games with fellow newcomers Orlando, 19-9 on the road and 29-27 in overtime at home.

They finally got off the mark in Week 4 as they edged Houston in overtime on the road, 24-22, and they followed that up in Dallas a week later with a 47-25 victory.

Louisville failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 16-3 to St Louis, but they responded with back-to-back wins over defending champions DC, winning 30-13 on the road and 33-30 at home.

The Kings then closed out the regular season with a 37-23 victory against Dallas, and a 42-27 success at Columbus.

St Louis Battlehawks Finished Regular Season 6-4

St Louis come into the playoffs on the back of a defeat, but having finished second in the standings with a 6-4 record.

The Battlehawks kicked off the campaign with a 16-10 win over defending champions DC, and then bounced back from a 31-15 loss at Dallas with a 34-30 success against Birmingham.

That was followed by a 28-22 defeat in DC, but they responded with their best run of the season as they won road games in Orlando, 25-17, and Louisville, 16-3.

St Louis then made it three-in-a-row with a 31-20 victory over Columbus, only to fall 23-16 at home to Houston a week later.

The Battlehawks avenged that loss the following weekend as they beat the Gamblers on the road, 21-15, but they failed to make it back-to-back wins as they fell Dallas, 20-16, last time out.  

Verdict

Louisville are the hotter team, but St Louis did match the Kings’ regular season record and they did knock off Louisville on the road during the regular season.

The Battlehawks now have home advantage – with a large and loud crowd expected at the Dome – so we are backing the hosts to get the job done.
