2* Miami / Chicago Bulls Under 192
Wait for this game to 'TOP OUT' in regards to the OU line... before slamming the UNDER.
We’ll benefit from what has been a LOW-scoring series as of late. The BULLS and HEAT have gone 2-8 O/U in the last 10 meetings vs each other. And the 4 games played IN Chicago have gone a PERFECT 0-4 O/U. Chicago has stepped it up on defense BIG-time as of late, going 0-3 O/U in their last 3 games… by margins of -23 points… -18 points… and -29 points! Both teams also have LOW-scoring tendencies on this particular Day of the Week. MIAMI is 1-9 O/U in Thursday ROAD games… while the BULLS are 3-12 O/U on Thursdays… including a perfect 0-5 O/U since late November.
We’ll be playing on multiple Systems tonight. And we have a ‘ OU COLLISION’ going in regards to our TWO favorite ‘UNDER’ Systems of the year.
Speaking of the Day of the Week, that’s where we start our System querying…
NBA home favorites playing on a THURSDAY (Bulls) have already gone 9-24 O/U on the season… and 5-17 O/U when the OU line is 204 or less points.
Each team last played on Monday… so they both come in on 2 day of REST….
9-22 O/U this season: ALL NBA home teams in a ‘2/2’ REST situation when the OU line is < 202 points. Since Feb. 1st, these games have gone 1-8 O/U… and a PERFECT 0-4 O/U when the home team is favored (Bulls).
Chicago has reeled off 5 straight ATS wins in a row….
4-16 O/U this season: all NBA home favorites playing off 5 or more ATS wins in a row (Bulls). If our host is favored by 10 or less points (Bulls), the numbers improve to 1-10 O/U.
I also ran a query for CHICAGO’S current 3-game ‘UNDER’ streak…
0-5 O/U this month: all NBA home teams playing of 3+ ‘Unders’ in a row (Bulls)… when the OU line is 192 or less points.
Let’s check out tonight’s OU line range…
1-9 O/U since Feb. 1st: All EASTERN CONFERENCE games in which the home team is favored by < 6 points… and the OU line falls in the range of 185 to 195 points.
Both teams come in off 10-point WINS in their last game…
0-6 O/U last 3 weeks: All NBA games in which BOTH teams come in off a DOUBLE-DIGIT SU win in their last game (Bulls / Heat).

You really have to like the way the Bulldogs have been just that to get into the sweet 16. They are very well coached who will definitely have them prepared. Looking at current power ratings there's not a team anywhere that's still alive that should be giving this team 6 points on a neutral floor. I mean not even if Kansas were still alive. . Now we are getting this many points?? Butler will always get good shots and Syracuse will turn it over enough to give Butler the extra possessions that they need.
