one game that jumps out tmr: bulls pistons

So I will start by saying I am little biased on the bulls, and they by no means have been playing great basketball.  However, this is one of the hardest playing teams in the league night in night out next to the spurs.  they never go through the motions they play 100 percent every game win or lose.

With that being said, Chicago has been basically flip flopping betweens wins and losses and, they have not beat a top tier team in the league yet. their best win is a win vs the 76ers at home. They have beaten teams like the cavs, minnesota, phx, orlando, the bucks and dallas.  In those wins they have not been covering machines either.

However, what you will find thoughout the year atleast until rose comes back, is some lines that are to low no matter how bad the bulls are playing. for example, 3 pt favorites on the road at cleveland missing irving and waiters?  We beat them at home the first time by 20+ with both of those guys.

We have one the past 10 meetings vs Detroit who right now is actually playing decent basketball after an 0-8 start.  But i really feel we are better than 2 pt favorites at the palace.  I feel like we are more athletic at just about every position, and our defensive intensity should be able to shut them down, as we are the number one defensive team in the leage allowing a mere 90.9 pts a game.

I am hoping public perception has been seeing how bad the bulls have been playing and over valuing a team like detroit.

I will be all over the bulls as long as the line stays below 4 or 4.5 pts.  i get my line an hour before tip from so we will see.

any thoughts welcome.

yeah i don't know how much the line will jump, it opened at -2.5 and it's down to 2.  As for the under, i do agree however 4 of the last times they have played the total has went over. again not a huge stat, because its a different year different team different puzzle pieces. they both avg about 93 pts a game however the bulls only give up 90 pts per game.

o/e is 182, so they need roughly 45 pts per qtr.
