New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction

I’m on the Lynx here. Normally I could get behind the prospect of a revenge game for the Liberty, but the Lynx just look like they want to beat the Liberty by any means necessary after losing to the Liberty in the finals last season. The Liberty just haven’t been able to pick up their play on the road and I think the Lynx get it done here. Give me Minnesota.
