INDIAN COWBOY'S WNBA RESEARCH
Phoenix vs. Minny
I really like a side for this game and it is available Here. I'll have it up as soon as the line comes out.
It will be the POD for Friday.
New York vs. Chicago
The line on this game has opened up at -4 in favor of Chicago, this is a revenge game for Chicago who lost by 8 on the road last time out, Chicago does play New York tough each time and beat this team by 9 on the road last time out and now faces them at home in this rubber game. New York comes off a 6 point loss to San Antonio and Chicago comes off a 19 point thumping of Washington at home. Lean on Chicago here to get it done at home with revenge but NY is a very tough team when it comes off a straight up loss.
Atlanta vs. Seattle
The spread here has opened up at -14.5. Note, that Atlanta plays on the road at the Sparks today as I write this (Thursday) and they turn around from L.A. and go north to play Seattle where they sit as a +14.5 dog. Personally, I hope for Atlanta to lose cover against the Sparks as I think that sets them up for a burial at Seattle. Seattle has covered 7 straight and are straight up dynamite at home where they have won to the tune of 15-1 and many of those games htey have covered. However, I hate games with big spreads although note Seattle comes off a loss and already beat Atlanta by 14 on the road earlier this year.
Houston vs. Sacramento
This game is postponed due to Hurricane Ike.
