Wings vs Aces Prediction
The Wings have been a surprise up to this point as they’re running great offense and seem far more competitive. The defense is still a work in progress, but this is a group that’s figuring things out, and Fudd is coming along as well. At home, the crowd will be out as this is a statement game. With all of that said, the Aces are coming off a bad loss, and this is a veteran championship caliber team that doesn’t string losses together. The Aces are undefeated on the road through 4 games. This line has also been bet down since the opener, so we’re getting a bargain on the Aces. I have to take it.
