The Money Line: Odds, predicted 2017 WNBA champion

Minnesota Lynx (+200)

Is having too many good, and thus expensive, players ever a bad thing? I don’t know, but the Lynx are about to find out. With all-timers like Maya Moore, Lindsay Whalen, Sylvia Fowles littered throughout their roster, the Lynx are likely only going to be able to keep 11 players on their roster, at least to start the season. This could be benign when its all said and done, but its worth keeping an eye on a team with such few players. That said, since winning their first title in 2011, the Lynx have been on the pattern of win one year, don’t win the next.  With all the aforementioned talent, plus the fact that they led the league last season in offensive rating and defensive rating, this is a team that should be contending for it all at the end of this season yet again.
