This may be too many points for the Liberty to cover. They have not done well this season in covering big double digit spreads. The Liberty are 0-4 against the spread this season as a home favorite of 12.5 to 18 points and 1-6 against the spread as the favorite. Washington is 3-1 against the spread as a road dog this season. The Liberty are giving up a lot on defense and are fading in the fourth quarter of games, blowing large double digit leads. Their defense tends to fade as it is letting in too many points at the end of the game where they should be closing it out. Washington is 7-1 against the spread in their last 8 games against New York. The Liberty have struggled at home recently to cover games as they are 1-8 against the spread in their last nine games at home and they are 0-5 against the spread this season in their last five games. It is worth a shot to take advantage of the large spread while the Liberty try to figure things out for now. The Mystics are winless this season and are looking for their first win so they may not be a pushover in this spot.

Best bet: take the points with Washington.
