Wings at Liberty picks and predictions
Prediction
Liberty 92, Wings 75
Moneyline
New York (-1200) will cost you 12 times your potential return, and that’s just way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, there is no sense including the Liberty, as it would suck all of the value out of your ticket.
PASS.
Against the spread
The LIBERTY -13 (-112) is a strong play, as they just continue to tick off covers on a regular basis. Again, New York has won and covered 7 in a row, including the front end of the back-to-back set with the Wings +13 (-108).
On the flip side, Dallas cannot get out of its own way, going 1-9 ATS in the past 10 games, while failing to cover the past 8 road games dating back to a rare cover June 17 in Minnesota.
Over/Under
UNDER 173.5 (-112) is a tremendous play in this rematch from Tuesday.
These 2 teams combined for 168 points on a total of 171.5. We might have a similar nail-biter for Thursday’s rematch.
The Over-Under has split 2-2 in the past 4 games for the Wings, while also going 2-2 in the past 4 on the road. So, there isn’t much to glean there.
For the Liberty, the Under has cashed in the past 2 games, while going 7-3 across the past 10 games since losing the Commissioner’s Cup on June 25.
