The Big3 is heading to Chicago for Week 5 of the regular season. Below, I make picks for three of the four games. First, I explain why the Power are being undervalued against the 305. Then, I highlight why the Triplets have defensive problems, despite being 4-0. And finally, I discuss who I believe will win the meeting between the Trilogy and the Ball Hogs.

Sunday’s Best Big3 Picks & Predictions: Triplets vs. Riot
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Chicago Triplets vs. LA Riot Over 93.5 (-115)
The Triplets are undefeated after four weeks, but they've allowed 185 points. That's tied for the third-most in the league. It also means that the Triplets are allowing 46.25 points per game. So far this season, only the 305 have scored fewer than 47 points against the Triplets.
While the Riot have scored the fewest points in the league, a big reason for that is they played a shortened game against the 305. While they ultimately won that contest 39-30, had they played a full contest, they'd likely have at least 11 more points than the 162 that currently shows in the standings.
The Riot have scored 40 or fewer points in each of their losses. However, in their Week 3 defeat at the hands of the Ball Hogs, they actually led 26-17 at halftime. This is a streaky team, and while I expect the Triplets to reach 50 first, the Riot have enough offensive talent to reach at least 44.
