Why This Trend Exists
The Bulls' exceptional underdog performance during win streaks stems from a potent combination of psychological momentum and market inefficiency. When Chicago strings together victories, the team develops genuine confidence that translates into improved execution, particularly on defense where effort and communication matter most. The franchise has historically thrived in these spots because their role players elevate their games when expectations are low, while opposing teams often underestimate a Bulls squad that oddsmakers are still doubting. Chicago's coaching staff has consistently maximized these situations by emphasizing defensive intensity and ball movement, creating a scrappy identity that plays up to competition regardless of talent disparities. The market tends to overreact to recent Bulls struggles while undervaluing their ability to maintain momentum, especially at home where the United Center crowd feeds off underdog energy. The key insight for bettors is recognizing when Chicago enters these spots against teams prone to letdowns - particularly after opponents' big wins or during back-to-back situations. This trend carries maximum value when the Bulls face playoff-caliber teams as moderate underdogs, where the psychological edge combines with inflated lines to create optimal betting conditions.
