The Bulls are just 2-7 on the road this season, but I like them to keep this one close. Philadelphia has covered the spread in just one of their last six games overall and in two of their last six as a favorite. Their offense has been dismal of late, averaging just 86.8 points per game over their last five. So, they won't likely be able to take advantage of the Bulls' big weakness - defense. As Derrick Rose gets more games under his belt, he'll get better and better and so will the Bulls. Right now they are a slightly undervalued team. When these two teams last met in March of last season, Philadelphia laid a major beat-down on Chicago, 121-99. The revenge factor will provide an edge here as well. I like Chicago plus the points.
