New York Liberty vs Dallas Wings Prediction
The New York Liberty are going to get the benefit of the doubt for obvious reasons as they’re the best team in the league while the Wings are a bottom feeder. However, I am surprised this line is what it is. One, the Liberty are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games as a double-digit favorite. In fact, 11 of the Liberty’s 14 failed covers this season have come as a double-digit favorite. Also, the Wings are as healthy as they’ve seen all year with the return of Sabally and Siegrist. The Wings squad you’ve seen all year isn’t close to what you’re about to see. This line is nuts considering Dallas is whole for the first time.
