Aces vs Storm Prediction
The Storm still has a limited roster, and the losses are getting out of control. The Storm just don’t have the offensive horses to compete night to night, as they’re averaging 64 points in their last three games. It’s not good enough. The Storm are also 0-2 ATS this month as a double-digit underdog and have lost those games by an average of 21.5 points. The Aces are finding their form, and they have a long history of smking the boots of lesser teams. It’s a massive line, but I have no choice but to lay it. The Storm just doesn’t score enough to scare most teams in the league.
