Valkyries vs Dream Prediction
The Valkyries, as a home underdog, are attractive considering they have the best home crowd in the league. The problem is the Valkyries have had issues against the top teams in the league this season, and we’re to the point where the Dream are entering that second or first tier. The Dream are absolutely rolling offensively and have waves of depth they can throw out there on the inside. The Dream have also proven themselves on the road with a 6-2 SU record. I’d simply need more points to consider the Valkyries. Under a full bucket, I’m siding with the Dream.
