Dream vs Lynx Prediction
The Dream as a home dog is intriguing because they are an above-average team when at their best. The problem is the Lynx are head and shoulders the best team in the league and not a squad I’m trying to step in front of with soft numbers. We’re laying less than a full bucket with the Lynx, who are expected to be at full strength. This is a spot where you don’t try to get cute. Give me the Lynx.
