What the data says

The 2026-27 season is only 1 game old for the Chicago Bulls, so this section reads 2025-26 until they reach 10. The table above has both seasons.

The Chicago Bulls were one of the most-bet teams in the NBA in 2025-26: #5 of 30, with 54% of spread tickets on average and the public side (60%+ of bets) in 27 of 80 games. On the spread that is not just a matter of being favored: the side with 60%+ of the bets is the favorite only about 6 times in 10, so a team's popularity shows up here too.

Against the spread they went 36-43-1, and 12-15 as the public side. Their share of the money (52.9%) tracked their share of the tickets closely, so big and small bettors saw them the same way.

None of this is a pick. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered about half the time, not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin by backing it or fading it. See tonight's NBA splits →

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see the Chicago Bulls betting splits for tonight?

On the NBA page, which shows bets and money on the spread, moneyline and total for every game on tonight's slate, updated through the day until tip-off.

Should you fade the Chicago Bulls when the public backs them?

Not on the split alone. Across the league over the last two seasons, the side with 60% or more of spread bets covered 49% to 50% of the time, which is not enough to beat the bookmaker's margin from either side.

What percentage of bets do the Chicago Bulls get?

In 2025-26 the Chicago Bulls drew 54% of spread bets and 52.9% of the money on average, across 80 regular-season games. That ranks #5 of 30 by bet share.

What is the Chicago Bulls record against the spread?

The Chicago Bulls went 36-43-1 against the closing spread in 2025-26, regular season only. Pushes, when the margin lands exactly on the number, are the third figure where there were any.

Are the Chicago Bulls a public team?

Yes. They ranked #5 of 30 by average share of spread bets in 2025-26. In the NBA that is only partly about being favored: when 60% or more of spread bets land on one side, that side is the favorite only about 6 times in 10, so popularity counts as well as the price. The Lakers drew the biggest share of spread bets of any team in both of the last two seasons.

What is the public side? The team drawing 60% or more of the spread tickets in a game. NBA spreads split opinion more evenly than hockey or baseball moneylines: the typical game closes with about 61% of spread bets on the more popular side. See our methodology →
