Generals vs. Stars picks and predictions
Prediction
Generals 24, Stars 17
Moneyline
After scoring 27 points in their opener, the Stars have not scored more than 16 points. They have allowed 21 or more points in every game.
The 20-point mark has been the difference for the Generals. They have won the 2 games they reached 20 points.
But with the Generals favored by so much on the moneyline, -250 is not worth any action.
PASS.

The Generals’ 2 wins this season have been by 15 points while the Stars’ 3 losses have all been by at least 14 points.
BET GENERALS -6.5 (-110).

BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).
