Endpoint vs. PACT Betting Preview

Even though they won the most recent game, PACT is in woeful form lately, and I don’t think they have a chance to beat Endpoint on Monday. Endpoint is the highest-ranked team at this tournament, and there is no way they will face elimination after this match, so I am backing them to secure an easy win. Feel free to back the favorites to cover the -1.5 spread.
