Copenhagen Flames vs. 777 Betting Preview
Copenhagen Flames is a far more experienced team even though they are playing with a relatively new lineup. 777 is not in the top 100 in the CS:GO rankings, and the maximum they could get from this encounter is one map. Still, I believe the favorites will not let them that map, but I will not back them to cover a -1.5 handicap. I am going with a straight win on Copenhagen Flames.
The Pick: Copenhagen Flames to win (-182 @PINNACLE)
