Sounds right to me, what would you make it?

Bulls are still the better team with or without Rose. -5 sounds about right. I rode 76ers last game big but backing out of this one.
Under maybe. GL

I think Bulls find a way to win this game.

Not sure about covering 5 points. Big ask for a side missing two starters.

yeah thats a trap line if I ever have seen it - wouldnt be surprised to see the bulls by 15 for a WTF bulls win by 15?

I expected it to be a bit lower especially w/ Noah out. Bulls are missing two starters, have lost 3 in a row, I was expecting something around CHI -3.5. Call it what you want, but it looks pretty "trappy" to me.

And to no surprise, the public is all over Philly.

Bulls coming off 3 losses in a row w/ this line, it's Bulls or nothing IMO.

i have no idea why the bulls are -5. Phiily+5 looks like a gift but books aren't in the habit of giving gifts so i'll either bet the bulls or pass

Bulls may win but not cover.

Bulls could win big. Just got that feeling, Sixers will not show up today much like the Hawks did not show up in Orlando last year. I think today could be blowout today if the Celtics and Sixers are already looking ahead, and the Magic continue sucking... I think we could have 2 or 3 20+ point wins in the 4 games today.

In the east, all series are 3-1. Gotta think maybe 2 will close out. That may put pressure on the other two to close bc they dont want to play a well rested team. That and seeing how giving away one game can change the dynamic of a series. I like 76ers. Just will out run the bulls tonight. Bull will be looking for scorers desperately. And i think playing solid D at home will wear them out. Doc will have his guys motivated and knows he needs to rest his older players, so he will push them.
