TURNOVER MARGIN: -2

PREDICTION: 7-9
Houston is under their 4th owner in the last 6 seasons and all the Turnover has resulted in a 9-39 mark the last 3 seasons. Waitwut has taken over the francise and he has experience winning in the XFL when he led Philadelphia to 13 straight postseasons from 2038-2050 & Brooklyn to 5 straight postseasons from 2031-2036. Houston fans are excited to see what he can do with his 3rd francise. The roster still needs work but Houston will improve this season.

PITTSBURGH BLITZKRIEG

TOTAL DEFENSE: 6th
TURNOVER MARGIN: -5

PREDICTION: 9-7
Pittsburgh has improved from 4-12 to 8-8 the first 2 seasons under the current owner. They were led by their defense last season so they drafted 3 WRs led by 1st rounder Leo Stimpson who could become a there goto playmaker this season. If their offense can catch up to their defense, they could make the playoffs

TORONTO TITANS

TOTAL DEFENSE: 9th
TURNOVER MARGIN: -2

PREDICTION: 9-7
Toronto started last season 7-4 and were a lock to make the postseason but they lost 4 of their last 5 and backed into the postseason at 8-8. The final 5 games, Toronto outscored they opponents 65-60 but lost 4 of 5 so the record didn't match the stats where they were only 1 of 7 teams with a top 10 offense & defense last season. They had 2 QBs last season who both started 8 games each and they signed QB Clinton Pierce from Orlando who should upgrade the position.

CINCINNATI DEFENDERS

TURNOVER MARGIN: -12

PREDICTION: 13-3
Cincinnati has become a legitimate Title contender after posting double digit wins the last 8 seasons. They have a MVP caliber QB & RB plus they are loaded with elite playmakers on offense & defense so they should win their 7th straight AXC North Title and be in the running for the #1 seed in the AXC.

PREDICTION: 5-11
Orlando has a brand new owner and it's gonna be a learning curve as he figures out how to compete in the XFL. They have a few playmakers on offense & defense but lack depth in the secondary which could hurt them if they lose anyone to injury.

PREDICTION: 2-14
Texas has lost 34 straight games after back to back 0-16 seasons. They lost 4 games last year by 1 score including a 9-6 lose to Orlando in overtime. They have some interesting players especially on offense but it's all about putting them in the right position to have success. They finally snap the losing streak at some point this season.

PREDICTION: 12-4
Dakota won their first AXC Conference Championship in 11 years last year but they lost WR Jose Hernandez to retirement which should force them to take a step backwards.

Daytona's strength is their defense which is loaded with elite speed playmakers which have led them to 4 straight postseasons. If they can get more outta their passing game, they could overtake Dakota and win the AXC South Title.

PREDICTION: 12-4
Brooklyn has been relevant during the first 4 years under Big Poppa's ownership and they return most of their key players on offense & defense. Not only do they want to defend the NXC East Title, they will look to find some success in the postseason which has been an issue for Brooklyn. They have gone 1-3 the last 4 years in the postseason.

PROVIDENCE ISLANDERS

PREDICTION: 13-3
Providence has made the postseason the last 12 seasons and they should easily make it 13 in a row this season. They made it to the NXC Conference Championship game for the second straight season but they lost again which makes them 0-4 in the NXC Conference Championship the last 8 seasons. Providence has become a perennial contender where it's only what they do in the postseason that really matters.

PREDICTION: 5-11
Philadelphia welcomed MWD65 as owner late last season as he begins his second tenure in the XFL after owning Oakland from 2045-2048. He will look to get Philadelphia back to being a perennial contender after finishing 3-13 last season which snapped a 14 year run of making the postseason.

TURNOVER MARGIN: -9

PREDICTION: 4-12
Washington welcomed owner Slowtospeak late last season. He was the longtime owner of Carolina from 2025-2040 and he won the 2029 XFL Title. Washington took a QB with the 2nd overall pick and he has elite potential but it may take time for him to develop which gives Carolina time to surround him with talent.

PREDICTION: 14-2

Phoenix won the XFL Title!!

Armoredgiraffe reached the promised land in his 14th season after coming up short in 12 straight postseasons. Now, the question becomes will Phoenix become a one hit wonder or can they become a legitimate dynasty. Winning consecutive Titles isn't necessarily to become a dynasty but 3 Titles in 5 seasons would warrant a dynasty label. I believe they easily make the postseason again and make another run.

LOS ANGELES CHALLENGERS

PREDICTION: 10-6
This is Warthogs 11th season as owner of Los Angeles and he has definately been a hard luck owner. He has gone 27-21 the last 3 seasons including going 10-6 last season without a postseason appearance to show for it. You can't come any closer then the Challengers the last 10 seasons to making the postseason without actually making the postseason. Will this be the season they finally break through? The addition of rookie 1st round RB Clyde Batten should make the difference!

SEATTLE BARBARIANS

TOTAL DEFENSE: 20th
TURNOVER MARGIN: +4

PREDICTION: 8-8
Seattle finished in last place in the NXC East despite going 8-8. The francise has gone 21 straight seasons without making the postseason but only 4 of those seasons under the current owner. The 8-8 record was the best since going 9-7 way back in 2035. Greyghost has brought some stability to the francise and I'm predicting another 8-8 season which is conservative but I wouldn't be surprised if he won 10 games.

VEGAS BLACK ACES

TURNOVER MARGIN: -1

PREDICTION: 9-7
Vegas missed the postseason from 2018-2024 during which time Claymore became the owner in 2022. He turned through francise into a perennial contender from 2025-2043 where he make the postseason every season and won the 2039 & 2040 XFL Titles. From 2044- last season, Vegas has been in a down turn where they have the postseason just twice but it appears they have started to turn it back around and could be beginning a new upswing.

PREDICTION: 10-6
Raidergreg69 has been the owner of Gem City for well over 3 decades and they have to the postseason 6 of the last 7 seasons and 13 of the last 15 seasons. That trend should continue as the battle Montana for the NXC North.

[b]PREDICTION: 6-10
Shanman begins his 3rd season as owner of Randolph after back to back 4-12 seasons. He has begun to put together some cornerstone players on offense & defense including a potential future francise QB who may need a few seasons to develop. I see them having a slightly better season as he works towards returning this francise into a playoff contender.

MONTANA GRIZZLIES

PREDICTION: 11-5
Trslick set a francise record for wins last seasons going 13-3 after winning the NXC Conference Championship the year prior. The long tenured owner has Montana on the verge of being a perennial contender and they should battle Gem City for the NXC North crown yet again.

PREDICTION: 5-11
Saint Paul has their 4th owner in the last 5 seasons and they need to bring some consistency and stability to the francise. It may take a few off-seasons for this francise to pull itself up and become a viable contender but time will tell.

PREDICTION: 11-5
From 2041-2048, Atlanta won 8 straight XFL Titles under 2 different owners. In 2049, they were again sold to a 3rd owner who made the postseason but the streak ended of XFL Titles which resulted in the sale of the francise to Dangalanti which is the former owner of New York (2045-204) & Toronto (2034-2043). Dangalanti is entering his 4th season as owner and he has won back to back NXC South division Titles. Can he take Atlanta back to the promised land? That's become the standard in Atlanta and he has the team poised to make that jump.

Timreesejr is entering his 4th season as owner of Memphis after being one of the original owners in the league when he owned Seattle from 2018-2035. His first tenure was highlighted by winning the 2021 NXC Conference Championship. Memphis has been a perennial contender since 2042 where they have made the postseason in 11 of the last 12 seasons which was highlighted by winning the 2049 NXC Conference Championship under the previous owner. Memphis & Atlanta should continue to battle for the NXC South Title.

PREDICTION: 3-13
Carolina has been owned by DrHayHurst for a dozen years and they have had the misfortune of being in the same division as Atlanta & Memphis who have been perennial contenders for those 12 seasons. The result has been Carolina has missed the postseason the last 13 seasons but hope has arrived in the form of rookie QB Neil Anderson who was the 2nd overall pick and he is considered a future francise QB.

TOTAL DEFENSE: 17th
TURNOVER MARGIN: +1

PREDICTION: 5-11
Tampa Bay has had 4 different owners the last 5 seasons but they finally landed Jilyman who should own the team longterm. Much like Carolina, they have to compete with 2 perennial contenders in Atlanta & Memphis but unlike Carolina, Tampa Bay broke through to win the division in 2050 when they finished 14-2. Unfortunately, that was a 1 year wonder scenario and they have missed the postseason the last 2 seasons. Expect Jilyman to improve the roster and get Tampa Bay back into contention in the NXC South in the future.

For my sanity I hope you’re wrong CJ. I don’t know how many more LC game losses to brxnivy I can take. :-)

I mean what are the odds I nailed the final 4 and eventually Champion on the nose????

For all I know it winds up:

Indiana vs Montana

Or

Daytona vs Memphis

Besides, nobody in the history of the XFL has lost more Tital games then me (7) and it's not even close!!!!
