Chicago at Denver

Premium Pick

One problem that the Chicago Bulls must face every year is going on an extended road trip every November. That is because they share the United Center with the Chicago Circus, and the Bulls have to vacate their home floor for a couple of weeks each season. It has not impacted their play this season, as they will be on the road for the fifth straight game, and have been white-hot in winning three and covering their first four. The Bulls' ATS streak has reached six straight games, and they are playing well above the line right now. Denver is just 2-5 in their last seven games. Just like the old days in Denver, this team simply does not commit to the defensive end, as 12 of their last 13 opponents have scored 99 points or more. That will be a problem vs. a Chicago team that has held five of its last eight opponents to 95 or less. Give the points on Chicago.
