The Houston Roughnecks and San Antonio Brahmas are set to face off in Week 5 of the 2025 UFL season on Sunday, April 27, at the Alamodome in San Antonio. This game carries significant weight for both teams. With both teams coming into this Houston Roughnecks vs San Antonio Brahmas matchup with 1-3 records, a win here would be huge for whichever side can get it.
Houston Roughnecks vs San Antonio Brahmas Preview
The Roughnecks are coming off a challenging stretch, having lost their most recent game against the Birmingham Stallions. Houston did cover the spread in that game, hanging around until the very end. But the Roughnecks’ only win this season has come against a Memphis Showboats team that is the lone winless team remaining in the UFL. Houston’s offense is last in the league in scoring at 12.25 points per game and they will need to be better to get a win here.
The Brahmas have also struggled this season, but they got their first win of the 2025 UFL season last week. They upset the DC Defenders on the road in that game, scoring 24 points and doing just enough on defense to hold off a late comeback attempt from the Defenders. Defense has been the issue for San Antonio so far this season, as they are the only team in the league to have given up over 100 points through four weeks. But this game represents a great chance to turn things around against a bad Houston offense.

- The Roughnecks have the worst scoring offense in the UFL at 12.25 points per game.
- San Antonio’s defense should play better this week against the worst team they will have played to this point in the season.
San Antonio’s struggles are well-documented this season. But the Houston Roughnecks are struggling just a little bit more this year. We expect San Antonio to get the job done at home in this game, as they should take advantage of playing the weakest opponent they have played this season by quite some margin.
Prediction: San Antonio Brahmas 24, Houston Roughnecks 13
Betting Pick: Brahmas -3.5
