Seattle at Houston

Houston has had a tough early schedule playing 6 of their first 8 on the road, so the 1-7 record sure doesn't tell the whole story here because they are 0-6 on the road. Seattle has parlayed a perfect 6-0 mark at home, but the road has not been friendly as they have logged just a 1-4 mark. Houston, 1-1 at home with the loss coming in OT, is more than competitive on their homecourt and Tina Thompson gives them a player that can take over a game down the stretch. Seattle has dropped 4 straight on the road now and the road defense is allowing just shy of 80ppg, which is a full 16ppg more than they allow at home. We like the Comets to come away with this one.
