Chicago at Detroit

This Piston's team has fallen off rapidly as a few short years ago they were always in the Championship talk. Now they have fallen off the map and are more likely to be thinking early draft pick. The Pistons went on a seven game skid early then rebounded and looked like they'd be ok, but now have fallen to eight straight losses, and it is clear that this is not a good team, and being favored at this point just isn't sound. The Pistons have not only lost ight8 straight, they have not come closer than 7 vs. anyone, and the losing margin is 108 points, or 13.5 ppg - hardly a team you want to lay points with. The Bulls have dropped off from last year without Ben Gordon around but have won four of six including the last two. They are in a better mindset here and just a better team right now. I'll go with Chicago here.
