Looks like MGM has lines up for the first handful of games. I haven't looked much into the teams yet...hopefully @AussieDownUnder does his preseason breakdown. Always a great read!
A few lines that stick out to me is Washington catching 13.5 at home to New York. Seems like way to many for a Washington team that always competes.
Also, Minnesota catching 10.5 to Seattle? Has Seattle improved that much?
I was typing up a reply and it got deleted.
anyways you can read up on some or most of the off-season moves here.

lots of book have championship futures available. It gives some sort of what has taken place to begin the year.
Mystics losing Cloud and possibly EDD

Seattle added 2 big names in Diggins-Smith and Nneka Ogwumike. I am not sure how I rate them as favorites early in the but as dogs against the Elite they can upset a few times as the develop chemistry. These transactions make the West much more interesting.
One other thing I will be paying attention to is all the bad teams head to head. There should be inconsistent play and upsets to be had. Good game followed by bad game scenarios.
There is currently 2 good teams in each conference and the rest are prime to be very volatile. Expect the unexpected.
opening day:
Liberty -13.5
@Mystics (+13.5 seems more logical, but this season is big for the Liberty. They have a lot more experience from their young stars. Should also be more acclimated for a fresh start to their season. I cant play this one, too blind.
Fever +5.5
@Sun
( I bet the Sun -5.5 as I think the hype is too much a factor in this line. Fever need time.) Also could see this line -7 or higher by May 14th.
Lynx
@Storm -10.5
(I am not ready to laying -10 on a team with continuity on opening day. By the end of the Season the Storm should be ready to make a big run. I am not a believer in either team. Lean Lynx, but they might struggle 2 and have a lot of changes to deal with as well
Merc
@Aces -13.5 ( seems like a lot of points but the Aces to start the year have minimal issues if any. Experience and talented youth and talented team. Maybe the issues appears as the season moves along but I think I can trust this team to start and be elite.
games/ lines on the 15th.
Sky
@Wings -12.5
The Sky might have issues with talent but the Wings laying this many is crazy. If the Wings cover this many it will be more about how bad the Sky are.
Dream -6.5
@Sparks
Its just too many points for a Dream, team in the middle of the pack that improved but how much? The Dream will only cover if I under estimated their off season or the Sparks are even worse than I thought.
day 3
16th
Liberty -5.5
@Fever
First home game after an away loss to the Sun. I lean Fever here but I think this line will be +7 or more is day one finishes as I am thinking. If the Fever blow as bad as I predict in Connecticut the opening home game for the Fever might be an opprtunity for a home dog win and battle. Its an interesting game
