During the first week one of the big favorites won their game by 33-12, that was a big winning margin and it is an indicator that this team has a strong offensive line to reach the postseason.

The 2023 XFL season is made up of ten weeks of regular games, while the playoffs are expected to begin on April 29 and the championship game on May 13.

With only 8 teams the league offers intensity in every game and the list of big favorites is smaller week by week, but like in the NFL underdogs can also win a big championship.
