This could be the year of the bull. Or maybe you could say the year of the Chicago Bulls (41-41). Last season, the Bulls made it into the playoffs after finishing third in the Central and eighth in the Eastern Conference. But this was a team that over the years has been defined by inconsistency.

With all the movement in the offseason it is likely that some new teams will rise to the tops of their divisions. Let’s take a look at the Central Division. All odds according to Pinnacle and Bodog Sportsbook.
