Portland Fire vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side here as this is a big number, but it’s one that the Lynx can cover given their track record this season. Either way, the Fire have been involved in high-scoring games and the Lynx have the chops to hit the century mark. Give me the over.
