Shane’s Free Pick
The Aces offense was back to their success in the last game and the yare going to continue that success here. The Sparks defense hasn’t been awful, but slowing down the Aces offense is tough, and they aren’t going to find success doing it here. The Aces are going to score at least 95 points here and the Sparks won’t be keeping up. Back the Aces to win this game and cover the spread.
