The UFL season is heating up, and Week 4 presents a fascinating slate of matchups. The storylines are clear: two undefeated squads look to stay perfect, while two winless teams are desperate to break through. The Dallas Renegades (3-0) travel to face the struggling Columbus Aviators (0-3) on Friday night, while the Orlando Storm aim to maintain their pristine record against the Birmingham Stallions on Saturday.

For bettors and fans looking for an edge, SportsLine football expert Emory Hunt has released his best bets for the week. A former college running back and seasoned analyst, Hunt brings a player's perspective and a proven track record to his picks. Let's break down where he sees value in the upcoming action.

Hunt is eyeing the Thursday night opener between the Houston Gamblers and Louisville Kings. He notes the Kings offer more stability, especially compared to Houston's recent quarterback uncertainty, making Louisville a tempting road pick. He's also leaning toward the total points staying Under 45.5 in that contest.

In the marquee Friday game, Hunt is backing the confident Dallas Renegades to cover the spread against Columbus. He believes Dallas has shown a championship-caliber ability to win close games, while the Aviators are still searching for a complete 60-minute performance. He expects a higher-scoring affair and likes the Over on the 46.5 point total, but his strongest play is with the Renegades to win and cover.

Finally, Hunt is impressed by the D.C. Defenders' defensive prowess, which was on full display in a dominant win last week. While acknowledging the opponent's struggles, he sees a unit building momentum as they prepare to host the St. Louis Battlehawks in a critical Saturday showdown between 2-1 teams.
