Portland Fire vs. Seattle Storm Prediction

I’m on the Fire and the points in this one. I just don’t trust the Storm as a favorite even though this line feels sketchy with them being favored at home in this game. One win isn’t going to change what Seattle’s done for much of the year and I think Portland gets it done here. Give me the Fire.
