Shane’s Free Pick
The Sky’s offense is going to really struggle in this game. The Liberty in the last game gave up only 58 points and they are going to lock down again in this game. The Sky’s offense at times have been inconsistent and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Sky won’t score above 50 points and that will be the difference as the Liberty get the job done. Back the Liberty against the spread.
