Up to this point, these are two bad basketball teams that you shouldn't be eager to back in the favorite role. Sure, the Minnesota Lynx are probably the more talented team, they've shown more life offensively, and they're at home, so I understand them being favored, but six points with them losing games left and right? I'm not buying it. I'm not thrilled to back either side here, but if forced to pick, I want to have the free points in my pocket.
