Aces vs Liberty Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Liberty and the points, as you don’t get them often as an underdog. The Liberty have also won 8 of the last 10 games against the Aces. However, we just saw the Liberty lose back-to-back games as a double-digit favorite, and I’m supposed to believe they’ll stop the bleeding against a red-hot Aces side? Not I. As I’ve said in past write-ups, I’m not in the business of stepping in front of the Aces when they’re playing well, especially when the line is soft. This feels like a steal if we’re being honest. I’ll lay the bucket with the Aces.
