Wings at Aces picks and predictions
Prediction
Aces 92, Wings 85
Moneyline
The Aces (-700) will set you back 7 times your potential return if you play them straight up, and that’s not a recommended wager. Betting such heavy favorites might return some short-term gains, but it’s a losing long-term betting strategy.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The WINGS +10.5 (-115) have long been a thorn in the side of the Aces -10.5 (-105), and Dallas is 1 of just 2 teams to beat Las Vegas outright this season.
Dallas has cashed in 6 straight meetings, and each of the previous 4 trips to Mandalay Bay. That includes a trip to Vegas on July 5, and the outright home win on July 7 in the Metroplex.
Over/Under
OVER 173.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly.
The Over has connected in 4 of the last 5 games for the Wings, while going 8-3 in the past 11 appearances on Sundays.
The Over has cashed in 5 of the last 6 games overall for the Aces, while hitting in 4 of the last 5 meetings against Western Conference opponents, too.
