THE BEASTS OF THE EAST MEET AGAIN (ATLANTA STEAM vs. CHICAGO BLISS, Game Preview)

Despite the consecutive losses to the Chicago Bliss, the Atlanta Steam still remain the primary threat to Chicago’s quest for its 4th championship banner. The Bliss continue to roll with perhaps its best roster in franchise history.

SPORTSBOOK BETTING LINE: CHICAGO -7.5PT. | OVER/UNDER 65 PTS.

Atlanta year after year disappoints, despite an All-Fantasy roster. One of the best teams on paper simply does not translate on the field. However, the Steam have shown signs of being able to beat Chicago, following their significant Halftime lead in the Eastern Conference championship.

KEYS for ATLANTA: Protect against Chicago’s vertical attack with AJ Johnson. Establish the run with Britney Demery and Jesse Locklear, keeping Chicago’s high-powered offense off the field.

INJURIES: Healthy

PLAYERS to WATCH: Dakota Hughes (QB), Adrian Purnell (TE), Lauran Ziegler (WR)

The richer get richer, the Chicago Bliss now hoisting three championship banners, returned to major veterans Nneka Kwani and Allie Alberts. Free agent Quarterback Jayne Caldwell also showing signs of being ‘the’ Quarterback in the Windy City.

KEYS for CHICAGO: Take the pressure of Jayne Caldwell with the running game. Place pressure on Dakota Hughes with various blitz schemes.

INJURIES: Healthy

PLAYERS to WATCH: Jayne Caldwell (QB), AJ Johnson (WR), Kristin Morrison (LB)
