Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks Prediction
Oddsmakers are giving the Knicks the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and there’s no way a team this talented loses 4 straight games. Forget that. I’m grabbing the points with the Bulls. The Bulls continue to stack wins and have a chance at franchise history with a 6-0 start. The Bulls have also covered all 5 games, and that includes a double-digit win over the Knicks on Halloween. Until the Bulls lose or stop cashing tickets, I’ll gladly keep backing them. Give me the points.
