Milwaukee at Chicago

These teams will both be looking to rebound from dismal campaigns last season as the Bucks finished the 07-08 season with eight straight defeats, and the Bulls playoff team from a year ago won just 33 games. These teams both were UNDER teams last year, as they combined to play 93-70 to the UNDER or 57.1% UNDERS. The Bulls have always been an UNDER team early in the season, especially at home where they have played 96-61 to the UNDER, during the first half of the season since 1996. That is good for 61.1%. These teams both have a bad taste in their mouth from how last season finished, and that usually leads to defensive intensity early on, so I will go with the UNDER in the opener.
