NC Dinos vs Samsung Lions 4/14/24 Pick: Samsung Lions
The Samsung Lions are a team that can pull off a shocking win which is going to really help the Lions out in this game here. However, the Lions are going to have to rely on Won to keep the game close as the Lions are going to struggle at times to keep the Dinos offense in check, but I think the Lions will be able to pull off the upset in this game here.
