Lynx vs Valkyries Prediction
I considered the Valkyries and the points as they’ve been giant killers this season and have won and covered seven of their last nine games. The Valkyries have a lot of outright wins this season as big underdogs. However, the Lynx are at home where they’ve played ridiculous ball this season, and they’ve covered seven of their last 10 games. The Lynx have covered six of their last seven games as a double-digit underdog. I’ll lay the points with the Lynx at home.
