<p>Week 17 of the 2021-22 NBA season tips off Monday, February 7, with five games around the Association, so we have prepared the best Suns vs. Bulls betting pick along with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie/">MyBookie Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<p>Phoenix and Chicago open their two-game non-conference series. The Suns search for their third consecutive victory over the Bulls and their third straight win at United Center in Chicago. Last year, Phoenix beat Chicago 121-116 as an 8.5-point home fave and 106-97 as a 6.5-point road fave.</p>



<h2 id="the-suns-easily-beat-the-wizards-returned-to-the-winning-path">The Suns easily beat the Wizards, returned to the winning path      </h2>



<p>The Phoenix Suns (42-10; 29-23 ATS) put an end to their 11-game winning streak last Thursday, suffering a 124-115 defeat at the Atlanta Hawks. Two days later, they returned to the right track with a comfortable 95-80 road victory over the Washington Wizards.</p>



<p>The Suns dominated the Wizards all night long, leading by as many as 36 points. They held Washington to only 35.3% shooting from the field and posted a whopping 20 offensive rebounds. Deandre Ayton led the charge for the Suns with a 20-point, 16-rebound double-double, while Chris Paul accounted for 14 points and nine assists.</p>



<p>Phoenix remains the No. 1 seed in the West, two and a half games ahead of Golden State. The Suns own the third-highest offensive rating in the NBA (113.4 points per 100 possessions) and the second-lowest defensive rating of 105.6.</p>



<h2 id="the-bulls-play-without-rest">The Bulls play without rest      </h2>



<p>The Chicago Bulls will meet the Suns on the second day of a back-to-back set, coming off a tough home matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers which has been excluded from this analysis. The Bulls hosted the Sixers as 3-point underdogs, searching for their second win in a row.</p>



<p>After a tough 127-120 overtime defeat at the Toronto Raptors this past Friday, the Bulls outlasted the lowly Indiana Pacers 122-115 on Saturday night. Nikola Vucevic dominated Indiana and went off for 36 points on 16-for-21 shooting from the field, while DeMar DeRozan added 31 points, five rebounds, and seven assists. Rookie Ayo Dosunmu also had a big night, finishing with a 15-point, 14-assist double-double.</p>



<p>The Bulls have gone 4-2 straight up and ATS in their last six contests despite some serious injury problems. Chicago is without Lonzo Ball (knee), Patrick Williams (wrist), Alex Caruso (wrist), and Derrick Jones Jr. (finger), while both Coby White (thigh) and Zach LaVine (back) are questionable to play Monday against the Bulls.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Phoenix:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-4 ATS in the last 12 games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games on the road&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Chicago:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-5 ATS in the last seven home games against Phoenix</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-phoenix-suns-vs-chicago-bulls-pick">Phoenix Suns vs. Chicago Bulls Pick</h2>



<p>The injury-depleted Bulls will have to deal with fatigue on the back end of their back-to-back set, so I’m backing the Suns to cover. Phoenix misses a few players as well, but the Suns’ key players are all raring to go.</p>



<p>The Suns have been terrific all season long. They’ve covered in eight of their previous 12 contests overall. Also, the Suns have gone 9-1 straight up and 8-2 ATS over their last ten outings away from home, so the Bulls will have a mountain to climb in this matchup.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Phoenix Suns&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Bulls have hit a 120-point mark in five straight outings, but they’ve played some lousy teams during that stretch. This time around, the Bulls take on one of the toughest defensive units in the league. Phoenix ranks 3<sup>rd</sup> in the NBA in the opponent field goal percentage (44.0%), while Chicago leads the league in field goal percentage (47.8%).</p>



<p>I lean the under because of the Suns’ D and the Bulls’ injury problems. Six of the Suns’ last eight contests on the road have gone under the total even though Phoenix plays at the eighth-fastest pace in the league (99.2 possessions per 48 minutes). The Bulls register 98.4 possessions per 48 minutes (tied-14<sup>th</sup> in the league).</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

Houston Astros vs Toronto Blue Jays Betting Pick & Prediction 7/2/24

Maybe a new place will help Rod Carey get a bowl win. The first-year Temple head coach is 0-6 in bowl games in his career. All of those losses came with the Northern Illinois Huskies, who were often punching above their weight class in December and January. Carey’s Owls take on the North Carolina Tar Heels in this year’s Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland.

Some of the line from down from UNC -6 to UNC -4 could be related to Temple’s proximity to Annapolis, which should lead to a pretty pro-Owls crowd, but the underdogs have a terrific defense and that is likely the primary factor. Temple finished the regular season tied for 14th in yards per play allowed on defense with 4.75. North Carolina, meanwhile, finished 60th with 5.54 yards per play allowed.

Temple played the 80th-ranked schedule and plays in the high-octane AAC, where a lot of teams are offense-first, offense-second, and defense-third, so you have to respect what the Owls were able to do on that side of the ball. They allowed 5.19 yards per play in conference and actually held the two Power Five conference teams that they played to 4.16 yards per play. Of course, those two Power Five teams were Maryland and a Georgia Tech team transitioning away from the triple-option.

These two teams don’t have a whole lot of similarities. North Carolina may have had trouble on defense, but not on offense. Even with a true freshman QB in Sam Howell, the Tar Heels finished the regular season tied for 23rd in yards per play with 6.37. They had 6.2 yards per play in conference action and even finished in November with 7.75 yards per play in games against NC State, Mercer, Pitt, and Virginia.

The Tar Heels made a surprising hire before the season by getting Mack Brown to be the face and the figurehead of the program. That’s not to say that the wily vet doesn’t have a lot to do with the day-to-day preparations of the team, but simply to say that he was brought in to be the closer with recruiting and stand up in front of the media. Offensive coordinator Phil Longo and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman are two highly-touted assistants and the Tar Heels should be set up for even more success next season.

The best performance of the season for UNC was actually a loss to Clemson, but that 21-20 defeat, in which UNC failed on a potential game-winning two-point conversion, showed the talent and potential of this Tar Heels bunch. Winning 15 extra practices by beating Mercer and NC State was huge for the future of the team and this is very clearly a team you want on your radar in the Coastal Division next season.

Howell made some freshman mistakes, as he took 36 sacks, but he also threw for 3,347 yards and 35 touchdowns against just seven interceptions. He is already sixth in program history in passing touchdowns with a game left in his TRUE freshman season. Per <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/ADavidHaleJoint/status/1204450188338900993">David Hale of ESPN on Twitter,</a></strong> Howell became one of 11 Power Five quarterbacks to post a 60% completion rate, throw for at least 35 TD with 10 or fewer interceptions, 3,300 yards, and have 8.5 yards per attempt through 12 games. Six won the Heisman and six start on Sundays in the NFL. Those guys are Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, Will Grier, Mason Rudolph, Baker Mayfield, Patrick Mahomes, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, and Robert Griffin III. Not too shabby.

Javonte Williams and Michael Carter stood out with 5.6 and 5.8 yards per carry, respectively, and barring a trip to the NFL Draft, both will be back. Former QB Chazz Surratt switched to linebacker and led the team in tackles. There is a lot of talent and a lot of returning talent in Chapel Hill that got better as the season went along.

Anthony Russo played well for Temple once the Owls decided on a full-time starter. He completed 58.6% of his passes with a 21/11 TD/INT ratio and only took 14 sacks. Re’Mahn Davis needs 100 yards to hit the century mark. His work picked up for a fairly pedestrian 4.1 yards per carry for Jager Gardner. The third-leading rusher was backup QB Todd Centeio.

I didn’t want to put the cart before the horse here, but my thoughts on the game could have come in the first paragraph. I disagree with this line move. My line is UNC -6.5 and I don’t understand why the number is moving down. Carey is a terrible bowl coach. The UNC coordinators are very strong. UNC is a more athletic team. After missing a bowl game each of the last two years, UNC is supremely motivated, too.

This is one of my favorite plays of the bowl season. The -4 is probably the stopping point, so those waiting on a 3.5 are unlikely to get it. I’d get in at -4 because there is a good chance it goes back up.

<strong>Pick: North Carolina -4</strong>

For Pat Narduzzi, the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit will be something of a homecoming. The longtime Michigan State defensive coordinator will bring his Pitt Panthers to Ford Field to take on the Eastern Michigan Eagles, with Pitt a clear favorite into double digits and a total just shy of 50. Openers ranged from 8.5 to 9.5 and Pitt has taken money to get as high as -11.5 for this one.

Narduzzi is actually five years removed from his time in East Lansing, where things have not been going particularly well. The Panthers have not done better than 8-5 on Narduzzi’s watch as of yet, but he can get to that number with a win in this one for the first time since 2016.

Eastern Michigan has the unfortunate placement of being in the MAC and that conference has been absolutely cursed in the bowl season over the last several years. Head coach Chris Creighton did a masterful job taking a doormat EMU program and turning it into a solid and consistent squad. Eastern Michigan’s bowl appearance in 2016 was the first in 29 years. EMU’s 2019 bowl appearance will be the third in four years.

There is a sharp contrast in the strength of schedules of these two teams. Eastern Michigan went 6-6 and barely qualified for a bowl game against the 112th-ranked schedule in the country. Pitt, a member of the ACC, played the 53rd-ranked schedule en route to this point. You absolutely have to factor that into the equation when you consider the statistical profiles of these two teams.

The schedule cannot be used as a full-on crutch for Pitt’s putrid offensive performance, as the ACC is not viewed as a dynamic defensive conference. Pitt managed only 5.07 yards per play in the regular season, which ranked 111th. Eastern Michigan, meanwhile, had over six yards per play for the first time in program history and finished the regular season 51st with 6.07.

As you would expect, EMU feasted on the bad Mid-American Conference with 6.35 YPP in conference action. However, EMU still had 5.74 YPP against the two Power Five teams (Illinois and Kentucky) that they faced. The Eagles hit their stride in November with over seven yards per play in games against Kent State, Northern Illinois, Akron, and Buffalo.

Pitt’s pathetic offense managed just 4.77 yards per play in ACC action. First-year offensive coordinator Mark Whipple was supposed to turn some things around with the help of quarterback Kenny Pickett, but it didn’t really work.

How is Pitt in a bowl game with an offense that bad? The defense. The Panthers allowed just 4.44 yards per play on the season, including just 4.33 YPP against in ACC action. Pitt was tied for third in the country with 49 sacks. Their average of 4.08 sacks per game finished second to SMU. Eastern Michigan only registered 20 sacks for the season.

To Creighton’s credit, Eastern Michigan only allowed 21 sacks. The Panthers need to disrupt the Eastern Michigan offense in order to win this game by margin because the offense is unlikely to be able to do it, even against an EMU defense that allowed over six yards per play.

The line move suggests a lot of respect for Pitt’s defense and a lot of respect for Pitt having played a much tougher schedule. Furthermore, the MAC has largely been an auto-fade in the bowls. That perception is actually backed up by results and not just narrative, but we are seeing a lot of bowl game lines move against the MAC teams that qualified.

Dual-threat QB Mike Glass III is the most important player in this handicap. Glass only took 12 sacks in his action. True freshman Preston Hutchinson got 56 pass attempts in the middle of the season and took eight sacks. Glass is mobile enough to evade the rush and he did have 97 rushing attempts on the season, including seven touchdowns. If Glass, who completed nearly 68% of his passes, can buy some time and throw on the run, Eastern Michigan can keep this close. If EMU’s offensive line gets mauled and Glass doesn’t have time, this game can get out of hand fairly quickly.

My personal power ratings line here shows Pitt -12.5, so the line is moving towards my number and I do agree with it, but it is very hard to lay a big number with Pitt. Eastern Michigan could attempt to do some creative things with Glass and Hutchinson in hopes of slowing down that Pittsburgh pass rush. We also have to wonder how excited Pitt is to go play in Detroit the day after Christmas. At least the sun shines in El Paso from time to time, which is where the Panthers were last season.

Still, even with a point of HFA to Eastern Michigan for the shorter trip and the crowd edge, Pitt -11 has to be the pick here. The ACC is just better than the MAC and even the handicap isn’t enough to take EMU in this one.

The stronger play here is the under 49. Eastern Michigan’s defense isn’t great, but neither is Pitt’s offense. The worry would be short fields and turnovers both ways, but EMU only had 12 takeaways in eight MAC games. Pitt, for all the pressure they generated, was -8 in turnover margin with only 13 takeaways.
