Johnson and Jones are also expected to battle for the inaugural XFL Championship with the Dallas Renegades (3/1) and the NY Guardians (4/1) the odds-on favorites. The LA Wildcats and Tampa Bay Vipers are both at 5/1.

With Seattle and DC playing the first XFL game on Saturday Feb 8 at 2 pm ET, running backs Jhurell Pressley of DC (6/1) and Kenneth Farrow of Seattle (6/1) are favored to score the league’s first touchdown.

And, even though the upstart league has vowed the stay away from players with checkered pasts, the odds-makers do think the need for attention might force them to sign players with baggage.  Among the favorites are:

Chad Johnson (4/1), Josh Gordon (8/1), Vontaze Burfict (9/1), Randy Gregory (12/1) and Johnny Manziel (35/1).  The odds-makers are also offering 2/1 odds that an XFL teams signs a college freshman or sophomore during the 2020 season.
