Valkyries vs Wings Prediction
The Valkyries have the best home crowd in the league and are a team that’s growing quickly. The Valkyries defend and can shoot the snot out of the ball from three. However, the value is with the Wings and the points. The Wings are rolling offensively and are getting sharper defensively. The Wings just smoked the Aces. Since May 24, the Wings are 3-1 SU as an underdog. This should be a fun game, but I have it close to a pick ’em. I want the points with the Wings.
