Much respect to you guys on Toronto tonight @ Chicago, however I like the Bulls for a few reasons:
Any team coming back home after a 7 game road trip has a tendency to let down a little making Toronto look inviting. Couple that with the fact that Toronto has been playing well lately and their road ATS is 15-11.
However, keep in mind, the Bulls are a much better team at home as they are 20-6 SU and 16-10 ATS. They are especially good vs. the Eastern Conference. Earlier this year they had a miserable 1-6 - seven game road trip and came up with a 17 point home win their first game back. This trip was better at 3-4 and although they have a about a 4 minute brain cramp every game I still see them winning SU by at least 7 and covering the 4.5. Their scoring differenential at home is about +10.5.
TOR are 1-8 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Chicago
TOR is 0-3 ATS on the road after a 5-9 point loss
CHI is 7-1 @ home after a win of more then 10
PLAY ON: CHI -4.5
GLTA,
TOD
