New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Knicks are 0-2 SU on the road this season where the defense hasn’t shown up, so it’s weird seeing them in the favorite role. I said before that I don’t believe in the Bulls start, but they’re still undefeated and 4-0 ATS on the season. The Bulls also beat the Knicks in two of the three meetings last season. This is a peculiar line and has shifted the value in the Bulls direction. I’ll grab the points.
