Aces at Storm picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 97, Storm 76
Moneyline
The Aces (-3333) will cost you more than 33 times your potential return, which is obviously a foolish bet. No one could need $3 that badly that you would be willing to risk $100.
PASS.
Against the spread
The ACES -17.5 (-110) heads to the Pacific Northwest Thursday and should smash the Storm for the 3rd time this season.
Vegas has now only won and covered both of the previous meetings, winning by an average of 37.0 points per game. The Aces have won 5 straight in the series while covering each of the past 4 outings and have won and covered the past 4 trips to the Emerald City.
Over/Under
OVER 170.5 (-110) is the lean.
The Under cashed in the most recent meeting on The Strip in mid-June, although the Over did connect in the season opener in the Pacific Northwest back in May.
The Over has hit in each of the past 4 meetings in Seattle, while the Storm has cashed the Over in 12 of the past 17 home games. The Over is also 5-1 in the past 6 road outings for the Aces.
