        Chicago should cover this easily, of course, I said the same thing about Miami last night against Cleveland. GL to all.

            Bulls don't have the best road record and they have lost twice before in Milwaukee. But this road game is important for them if they want to contend for playoffs. They will want to make a statement with the first of five away.

                      It does look pretty easy, but you have to remember the Bulls are a very average road team, and the Bucks play their best ball at home. Having said that, I'm still taking the Bulls for a medium sized bet. They are finally healthy and I think they take it to Milwaukee tonight.

                        I am going with the Bucks here. If nothing else, Chicago is coming off a HUGE win and we all know that usually spells let down in next game.

                            Bulls haven't played in Milwaukee this year.

                                  Yeah I'm taking the Bucks in this one. I don't like taking the Bulls when there favored on the road. Think Bucks win this one out right. Good Luck to All

                                    I like the under on this game, but the pace should be little faster then usual for this matchup.

                                      -3 seems right..Wouldn't expect the Bulls to be any higher than -9 to -10 at home against the Bucks would you?

                                        Exactly

                                        They were -7 at home last time they played so a -9 line equivalent makes sense now

                                        I would be more worried about the lack of line movement rather than the actual spread

                                          94% of PUBLIC is on Chicago...that always scares me...when it looks to good to be true is probably is

                                          did anyone really see cleveland beating the knicks last nite...Public pounded the knicks

                                          if i bet i will go the other way...good luck to all

                                              I usually agree with this theory.. However, the public is not always wrong . The Bulls are hot right now and now that Noah is back that have a good chance to be a dominant team in the league , with chamionship intentions.. Bucks are ehhh at best . I like the talk here in this thread about the bulls being shaky on the road ATS . I wagered heavy on the ML. Chicago gets it done tonight . I also think the -4 is a nice bet too

                                                chicago backers should tread very easily....bucks are on the verge of going on a hot streak, they are a talented team and are getting healthier and playing much better. Wouldn't surprise me if they win straight up tonight....playing chicago is definitely risky and not the smartest play at all. Not playing it but it's either bucks or no bet. BOL all

                                                  Bucks at home is best chance for them to win but record is showing that the only elite team they beaten, they beat Dallas at home. Dallas is good but I still think Chicago is better.

                                                  Everything points to fav Chicago but with a small spread, upset is bound to happen. Bucks ML or Chicago cover. Squeezing in for a close game to let spread determine our money is not the way to go. I'm not seeing it when a .500 team playing against a .300 team.

                                                    brosuf....mark my word, bucks are on the verge of going on a strong showing in the near future. You have to play momentums and how teams have been playing as of late, come offs from wins or losses, and bucks are in a very good position in this one at home against bulls. Bucks match up well against them and can definitely win this game straight up. Nonetheless, good luck whatever your play was...I'm still not sure what that is. Good luck to u bro

The Bulls are hot right now and now that Noah is back that have a good chance to be a dominant team in the league , with chamionship intentions.. Bucks are ehhh at best . I like the talk here in this thread about the bulls being shaky on the road ATS . I wagered heavy on the ML. Chicago gets it done tonight . I also think the -4 is a nice bet too
                                                          I think the main reason the public is big on CHI is because everyone saw them defeat the Heat on national TV. I'm kinda surprised the line only moved by one point, considering that the public often fails to account for home court advantage, home vs away records, etc. and blindly follows good teams.

You have to play momentums and how teams have been playing as of late, come offs from wins or losses, and bucks are in a very good position in this one at home against bulls. Bucks match up well against them and can definitely win this game straight up. Nonetheless, good luck whatever your play was...I'm still not sure what that is. Good luck to u bro
                                                            I played chicago.

                                                            Looking good so far for bucks. Their defense is hard to crack and they are shooting well thus far.

                                                            Chicago looks sluggish. Game still in play so lets just watch to see what happen.

                                                                For some reason, I just love them vegas trap games. I must learn how to stay away from them. Kill games that are regular with no hoopla around it is the better way to play. Darn, just my luck.

                                                                  hahaha, i mean everyone falls into those traps....many times more often than they'd like. I know I used to fall for those hard and lost quite a bit over the years...I've become much better in capping games in nba/ncaa and for the most part am very profitable (don't always post plays, but this is the truth). nfl i'm also on point...these and tennis matches have been my forte for a while. This season though, I've lost on some traps....namely the kansas and kansas state game and difficult to avoid it all the time. This chicago game though had trap written all over it....as you stay engrained in the game longer and longer (not sure how long you've been doing this), you'll pick it out and learn to make smarter decisions. Line movements, momentum swings, how teams match up, refs, and a multitude of other factors really do come to play.

                                                                  Looks like bulls making a run right now....just make sure you survive and live to fight another day lol. BOL to you bro

This is just my first year trying nba and so far, there are way too much angles that I need to take into consideration instead of just taking a few that works for me in the NFL. LOL

                                                                    If I lose this game, I'll built up my play dough bankroll again and will shoot a few here and there. I'm not going to go daily crazy like what I have been doing in the past 2 weeks or so. Looking forward in reading more from the best. Thanks bud.
