Spirit vs. OG Betting Preview
I expect to see a big battle here and although it could go either way, I am going with OG. They are a better-ranked team, which is not always a decisive factor in making a prediction, but this time around, it is, and that’s the biggest reason I am going with OG. In case you prefer betting on Over/Under, you can try with Over 2.5 maps, but I am sticking with OG in this one.
