Bulls in Freefall
Chicago sits at 6-4 in the last 10 games, but that 3-game losing streak has completely killed our momentum. The silver lining? We’re still 7-2-1 against the spread with a 2-game ATS winning streak, showing we’ve been competitive even while losing.
Bulls games have leaned toward overs (6 overs, 4 unders) with 2 straight overs. We’re involved in high-scoring affairs, which creates both opportunity and risk.
Pistons Absolutely Rolling
Detroit enters with a ridiculous 9-1 record in their last 10 games, riding a 7-game winning streak. They’re playing the best basketball in the league right now. However, they’re 7-3 ATS with a 2-game ATS losing streak, suggesting they’re not covering spreads despite dominating.
Pistons games have split on totals (5 overs, 5 unders) with their most recent game going over.
Why This Feels Like a Trap Game
The 2-point spread makes this essentially a pick ’em despite Detroit’s 7-game winning streak and our 3-game losing streak. The market is giving us respect based on our overall body of work, but can we actually deliver?
Bulls’ ATS Success
Our 7-2-1 ATS record with a 2-game ATS winning streak shows we’ve been competitive even when losing outright. We’re covering spreads consistently, which creates value as underdogs.
Pistons Not Covering
Detroit’s 2-game ATS losing streak despite winning 7 straight shows they’re winning close games rather than blowing teams out. That creates opportunity for us to keep it competitive and cover the 2-point spread.
Slight Underdog Value
Getting +110 on the moneyline means betting $100 to win $110 – essentially a coin flip with slight value. The market views this as much closer than the win streaks suggest.
Facing Cade Cunningham’s Hot Streak
Cade has been absolutely cooking during this 7-game win streak. He’s orchestrating the offense, scoring efficiently, and making everyone around him better. We need to disrupt his rhythm early or this could get ugly.
The Pistons have found their identity under their new system, playing fast-paced basketball with multiple scoring threats. This isn’t the same Detroit team we’ve dominated in recent years.
Betting Analysis
The Spread
Bulls +2 offers value despite our losing streak. We’re 7-2-1 ATS overall and just covered in our last two losses. Getting 2 points against a team on a 2-game ATS losing streak creates opportunity.
The Moneyline
Bulls +110 presents interesting upset value. We’re only slight underdogs despite the contrasting streaks. One quality performance ends our slide and catches Detroit looking ahead.
The Total
Over 233.5 aligns with both teams’ recent trends. We’ve hit over in 2 straight, and Pistons just went over. This projects as an uptempo, high-scoring affair.
Bulls’ Path to Ending the Skid
For us to snap this brutal 3-game losing streak and cover the 2-point spread, we need:
- Defend Cade – Can’t let him control the game
- Match their intensity – Detroit is playing with supreme confidence
- Get stops – Can’t win a track meet against this hot team
- Stay composed – Don’t let early deficit snowball
Bulls Fan Perspective
This is rock bottom. Three straight losses, traveling to face a team on a 7-game heater, and fighting just to stay competitive. It’s not where we thought we’d be after that strong start.
But here’s the thing – we’re still 7-2-1 ATS, which means we’ve been in every game. The losing streak feels worse than it is because of how it contrasts with our earlier success. We’re two or three plays away from being 9-1 instead of 6-4.
The 2-point spread suggests the market still believes in us. Detroit is hot, but they’re not invincible. They’ve failed to cover their last two spreads despite winning, meaning games have been closer than expected.
This is the perfect “prove it” game. End the losing streak on the road against a hot team and show that our early season success wasn’t a fluke.
Game Prediction
Projected Score: Pistons 121, Bulls 118
Detroit extends their winning streak to 8, but we cover the 2-point spread in a competitive game. Their home crowd and momentum prove too much, but we battle and keep it within single digits throughout. The game goes over 233.5 in a high-scoring affair.
Best Bets:
- Bulls +2 (most confident play) – Should keep it close
- Bulls ML +110 (value play) – Real upset potential
- Over 233.5 (strong play) – Both teams will score
For Bulls fans, this represents a character test. Do we crumble further and let this become a 4-game losing streak, or do we fight back and steal one on the road against a hot opponent?
Wednesday night in Detroit – let’s end this nightmare and get back in the win column.
See Red! Let´s go Bulls!!
