Chicago at Toronto

Premium Pick

The Toronto Raptors are just 7-19 on the season, and it looks like the general public likes to play against this team. The Raptors have played well above the line and are 18-8 ATS on the season. I see a public race to get to the betting window against this team, but that has not worked out well. This will be the first time all season the Raptors are posted as a favorite (-1 at the time of this writing). The Raptors improve to 10-2 ATS when taking 7.5 points or less. Chicago looks to be about the same team that went 39-43 a year ago, but this team has struggled to a 4-9 record on the road this season, and Toronto can't win on the road where they are 1-12 but has been 6-7 at home. Make the play on Toronto.
