Green Bay vs Oakland Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind a subpar team in the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, and I’m certainly not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk. However, this has everything to do with how awful Green Bay is. The Green Bay Phoenix haven’t won a game since November 19, and they’re just getting drilled defensively night after night. Green Bay is also just 7-13-1 ATS on the year despite being similar dogs as this. The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are playing their best ball of the season with wins in four of their last five games, and they need to take advantage of spots like this if they’re going to chip away in the Horizon. Big line, but it’s just how bad Green Bay is. I’ll lay the points with Oakland.
