Randy’s Free Pick

Both teams have some showing and proving to do based on their season openers. The difference here is the Minnesota Lynx are at home where they usually have good crowds, and the Dream are playing their second straight road game. We're still feeling these teams out, but I'll lay the small bucket with the Lynx at home.
