Value Analysis: - Connecticut Sun: net -10.0 − (no adjustments) = -10.0 - Chicago Sky: net -2.8 − (no adjustments) = -2.8 - Edge: -10.0 − (-2.8) = -7.2 → Connecticut Sun favored by 7.2 pts - Implied spread: -(edge -7.2 + Home court advantage 2.5) = +4.7 - Actual spread: +6.0 → line roughly matches ratings - O/U implied total: (95.0 + 102.9) × 0.92 = 182.1 - O/U actual: 170.5 → lean Over 170.5 — implied +11.6 pts above line

The Pick:

  • Spread: Connecticut Sun +6 (-105, Bovada) — Ratings imply +4.7, actual line is +6.0, gap of 1.3 pts — roughly matches ratings but slight lean to the underdog due to fading trend.
  • Moneyline: Not recommended — Connecticut Sun ML is +210, juice is too steep for value.
  • O/U: Over 170.5 (-103, Bovada) — Implied total is 182.1, which is 11.6 pts above the actual line of 170.5 — lean Over.

I'm taking Connecticut Sun +6 (Spread), Over 170.5 (O/U).
