Chicago Bulls vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers should be out to get revenge after just losing to the Bulls, and it’s already reported that Joel Embiid is probable. The 76ers should be favored. However, this line is steep when you consider the Bulls are winning and covering games all of a sudden. The Bulls have won 5 of their last 7 games, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. Oh, the Bulls have also won 4 of the last 5 meetings against the 76ers. Double-digit chalk? A bit disrespectful in my eyes. Give me the Bulls.
