Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz Prediction
I’m not excited to lay this many points with the Chicago Bulls, but this line is an indication of just how bad the Jazz are. The Jazz are winless on the season, their offense has been dreadful, and they’re 2-4 ATS despite being massive underdogs nightly. I want little to do with the Jazz. Give me the Bulls and the somewhat reasonable number.
