Fire vs Dream Prediction

The Dream are the more talented team, and the Fire, all of a sudden, have a crowded injury report. However, this line is still too thick. The Fire have been a surprise up to this point and are gaining confidence with each win. The Dream have seen 4 of their first 6 games be decided by 5 or fewer points. This just feels like too much respect for the Dream or not enough respect for what the Fire has shown. either wy i want the points with the home team.
