This is such an elite offense, but it wasn’t good on Tuesday, and they need to find a way to get going here. The Aces are averaging 94 points while their defense is giving up 79.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 1st and they need to run up the score here.

Shane’s Free Pick

It’s hard to keep the Aces offense down two games in a row, and it’s not going to happen here. The Aces offense is going to have no issue running up the score here, and the Liberty aren’t going to be keeping up. This is a game where the Aces are going to get close to 100 points, and that will be enough to get the job done. Back Las Vegas to win this game and cover the spread.
