Portland Fire vs. Dallas Wings Prediction

I’m on the Wings in this one. I’m still hoping for the Portland Fire to show some fight down the stretch, but this is just a bad spot against a Wings team that’s been able to take care of inferior competition all season long and essentially clinch a spot in the postseason with a win in this game. It’ll be an interesting test to see how far the Wings can take this, but I still think in this position, the Wings take care of business at home. Give me Dallas in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Dallas -8.5
