Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls prediction

The Chicago Bulls should be favored as they're at home with the rest advantage, and they're supposed to be the better team. However, the Bulls continue to have issues with consistency, and it makes hard to back them in the big favorite role. Also, the Pistons continue to be competitive despite the heartbreaking losses, and they've covered 5 of their last 8 games. Last night was brutal for the Pistons, and it could lead to a team that falls flat on their face, but regardless this feels like way too many points. Give me the Pistons on the road.
