Friday WNBA Research
By IndianCowboy
Detroit vs. Washington
Nearly 70% are riding the Shock on the road here not suprisingly, and Detroit did cover a 9 point spread by beating this team by 13 at home earlier this yaer, that game pushed at 145 when Detroit was at home in that ballgame, Do note that Detroit has had a tough go of it on the road losing 4 in a row and missing all 4 of those covers as well. Washington comes off losing by 21 on the road at New York, so I do expect them to play better today, like Atlanta did after that terrible loss, Washington did beat Connecticut and Indiana at home recently, if anything I lean on Washington and the under here, a bit more on the under. Remember, the 2 ballgames against Indiana and Connecticut, 2 similar teams to the Shock in many ways with their offense and defense on the road, totaled 133 and 98 as this is set in the low 140s.
Seattle vs. Indiana
I would love to take Indiana on the bounce-back here, except for the fact that this team is faltering at home such as the loss to the Dream outright at home, of course, they will play much better today after a couple brutal days of practice and having to take a home loss to the Dream, but having said that, Seattle is rock solid right now. Only 35% of the public is backing them, but Seattle beat this team by 8 at home earlier this year back in June, this is a revenge game for Indiana in that respect as they come that the terrible double-digit outright loss to the Dream at home, Seattle has won 6 in a row and covered 6 in a row, of course, 5 were at home in their covers, but 1 was on the road in a double-digit win over Sacramento, Indiana has won 3 in a row at home, but do note as well: Lauren Jackson is out indefinitely on a personal mater today. Having said that, I lean Indiana, but I still do not want to go against Seattle. I think there are some other options in the wnba today.
Connecticut vs. Chicago
Nearly 70% is riding the road team in Connecticut here and it seems the wheels might be falling off from the Sun from the recent forfeit they took at the hands of the Shock. Conn beat this team by 2 on the road last time out and of course, Chicago has revenge from that 2 point loss and would love to get it back as that was back on June 1st - score 73-75. The Sun are 0-4 over its last 4 ballgames and 0-4 ats as well, They lost to Washington and Indiana on the road after an early positive start on the road, Chicago comes off a brutal 1 basket loss to the Shock after coming all the way back from a 19 point deficit at half, but they did hit the backdoor cover though and has covered back to back ballgames by beating Atlanta at home in what was a big revenge game for them. I lean Chicago, but do realize that Connecticut is too good to be laying down over and over again, this is a playoff contending team, at some point they will step up, wouldn't be surprised to see this game go under, still lean on Chicago nonetheless.
Atlanta vs. Sacramento
You notice the spread slowly decreasing for Atlanta in each road game, heck, they just won at Indiana outright, nearly beat the Silver Stars on the road as they led for part of that game even in the late minutes and still find themselves as a 9 poing dog - granted, the public, who favor them by 39% have not forgotten the close game with the Silver Stars and then getting burned on the road by Chicago - but Chicago had a masive revenge game against Atlanta and that is not the case here against Sacramento. Look, Atlanta has played some great basketball of late and they have covered 3 of their last 4, Sacramento comes off back to back wins and they are 7-2-1 ATS and 4-1-1 ATS at home of late. Thes 2 teams have not met each other and despite the fact that I think Atlanta does well here, I just have this odd gut feeling that Sacramento pulls the spread late possibly. I am tempted to stay away just on that gut feeling alone, will have to wait for the rest of the research of all the games before rolling with this one, likely just staying away.
