Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz Game Prediction
The Chicago Bulls opened as a consensus 3.5-point underdog. At the time of this writing, the line has swung in the other direction, as the Bulls are now listed as a 3.5-point favorite (per OddShark.com). With several players potentially out of Utah’s lineup, I like the Bulls to cover the spread here, and I don’t say that too often.
The projected over/under total for this matchup opened at 225.5 points. At the time of this writing, the line has dipped to 223.5 points (per Pre-Game.com). Based on the aforementioned trends, going with the “over” looks like the smart choice here.
Final Pick
Spread: Chicago Bulls -3.5 (-112)
Over/Under: OVER 223.5 points (-112)
