Randy’s Pick

The Fever are worth a look in the underdog role, especially with them fresh off 3 straight wins. However, the Wings are the better team here no matter how you slice it, they beat the Fever on the road back in early July, and they need to win to keep control of the fourth seed. If the Wings care about getting the best playoff seed possible, these are games they need to take advantage of. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Wings.
