There won't be any unanticipated celebrations for the Chicago team, as they won't be getting a rare victory over the hot New York team. New York is currently riding a season-long six-game winning streak and has already secured six victories in its last eight trips to the Windy City.
Four of those victories have been by more than one goal. Chicago, on the other hand, has only managed to win once in their previous 15 games, losing a staggering 12 of them by a margin of at least two points. Tonight, bet on the New York team to win and cover the spread.
