The New York Liberty aren’t winning or covering, so you can understand why their spreads continue to grow. However, the Chicago Sky have allowed teams to hang around this season with a shaky at times defense and they can give away some covers. I’m not leaving this many points on the table. Give me the Liberty and the points.
