Despite suffering their first loss of the season back in Week 9, the Birmingham Stallions are still the heavy favorites to win it all at -130. Those odds moved slightly from -145 over the last week.

Can the other three teams catch up?

Let’s dive into how the UFL title odds moved at FanDuel Sportsbook, with insight from FOX Sports football analyst RJ Young.

UFL CHAMPIONSHIP ODDS: *

Birmingham Stallions: -130 (bet $10 to win $17.69 total)

St. Louis Battlehawks: +280 (bet $10 to win $38 total)

San Antonio Brahmas: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)

Michigan Panthers: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)

* odds as of 6/4/2024

Coming as no surprise, RJ Young has the Stallions on top of the final edition of his weekly power rankings, and looks forward to what they will bring in the playoffs.

“After suffering their first loss in 379 days and seeing a 15-game winning streak snapped, Skip Holtz’s Stallions were determined not to lose two in a row — and they didn’t,” Young wrote. “In the process, they ended the Panthers’ five-game winning streak.

“Birmingham came back from 10 points down against Michigan and finished the season at 9-1. The Stallions have not lost two in a row in the Holtz era and are now 30-4 dating back to 2022 in the USFL.

“Following a change at defensive coordinator after Week 7, the Stallions defense has seemed a bit out of rhythm with Corey Chamblin as the new playcaller; Chamblin replaced John Chavis, who has been unavailable due to an ongoing health issue. Still, the Stallions should feel good about finding a way to win an ugly game that featured MVP favorite Adrian Martinez‘s worst performance all season (14-for-28 for 163 yards and one touchdown).”
