How Our CHI Predictions Work

Our XGBoost model is trained on seasons of NBA data. For every Chicago Bulls game, it calculates the net rating differential — the strongest predictor of game outcomes — and converts it to a win probability and implied spread. When that model spread differs from Vegas by more than 3 points, we flag it as a high-confidence pick. See our track record. Daily CHI predictions return when the 2026-27 season tips off in October.
