Bulls vs 76ers Prediction

This is a lot of points for a 76ers squad that’s played a lot of games close to the vest this season. I’m still going to lay them. The 76ers beat the Bulls six days ago, 126-107. The Bulls are 30th in points allowed and offensive three-point percentage. It’s not good enough to be taken seriously. The Bulls have lost nine of their last 10 games and are 3-7 ATS during that span.

The 76ers have covered four of their last five games. I simply have little to no interest in the Bulls right now in the betting market. I’ll lay the points with the 76ers on the road as they comfortably beat Chicago for the second time this season.
