Seattle Sea Dragons vs. Orlando Guardians | Guardians +8.5 (-110)
After starting the year with two consecutive losses, the Sea Dragons have won three in a row. They got a seven-point win over the Roughnecks last week. However, their other two victories came over the Vegas Vipers and San Antonio Brahmas. Those two teams have a combined 2-8 record this season. More importantly, Seattle won those two games by an average margin of 6.5 points. Even in their two losses this year, the Sea Dragons have had tight matchups. Over the first five weeks this year, the Sea Dragons have had their games end with an average spread of only 5.2 points.
While the Guardians are the only winless team left this season, their opponents haven’t had easy victories of late. The two times they faced the Roughnecks, the Guardians lost by 21 points in Week 1 and 28 points in Week 4. Meanwhile, Orlando lost by 18 to the Brahmas in Week 2. However, the Guardians have played better lately. Over the past three weeks, two of their losses have been by a combined four points. The other was against Houston again.
The betting market overreacted to the Sea Dragons' win over the Roughnecks last week. Yes, they have won three in a row, while the Guardians are winless. However, Seattle has won by an average of 6.7 points per game this season, and Orlando is beginning to find its way. While the Sea Dragons likely win their fourth consecutive game, expect the Guardians to cover the 8.5-point spread.
