Vancouver Whitecaps roll into Soldier Field on Friday night riding a dominant 10-2-2 record, arguably the hottest side in the league right now, so the fact that the books still have them as underdogs at plus-125 tells you how much respect Chicago Fire FC gets at home. The Fire are no pushovers either at 8-2-4, and Soldier Field can be a tough place to steal three points on the road.

Over-under sits at 3.5, which feels about right for two attack-minded squads — don't expect a nil-nil snooze-fest here. Bold prediction: Vancouver finds the net twice in the second half and leaves Chicago with all three points, reminding everyone why their record is the best in the building tonight.
