Wings at Aces Game 1 picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 94, Wings 80
Moneyline
The Aces (-600) will cost you 6 times your potential return in this series opener. You can’t risk that kind of money for such a small profit, whether it’s a singular bet or a multi-team parlay.
PASS.
Against the spread
The ACES -10.5 (-106) are worth a look in Game 1. Vegas is 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games as a double-digit favorite.
The Wings +10.5 (-114) are just 1-2 ATS in the past 3 games as an underdog of 6 or more points, including 2 non-covers against the Aces.
Las Vegas is 9-4 ATS in the past 13 games at home, while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games overall. However, be careful, as the Aces are 1-4-1 ATS in the past 6 in the semifinals round.

Over/Under
The UNDER 174.5 (-111) is the lean, but go very, very lightly.
While the Over has dominated for the Wings lately, going 18-4 in the past 22 games overall, and Las Vegas has hit the century mark in the past 2 meetings with Dallas, go low. The Under is 6-1 in the past 7 meetings between these teams at Mandalay Bay.
The Aces have actually hit the Under in 7 of the past 9 games at home, while going 8-3 in the past 11 against teams with a winning overall record.
