Friday’s Best College Basketball Bets: Butler vs. Georgetown
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Butler vs. Georgetown
After starting 3-0 in Big East play, the wheels have come off for the Hoyas. They've lost six of their last seven, with their only victory coming by one point over the struggling Villanova Wildcats. The good news for the Hoyas tonight is they play the worst team they've faced in a month. The bad news is they haven't beaten anyone by more than a point since January 3rd.
Though the Bulldogs have had a rough season, they've won two of their last four. Their two losses during that span were impressive, as they took UConn to overtime and lost by just nine to Marquette. After losing eight consecutive games in December and January, this team looks like it has figured something out. Despite their record, they're playing well right now. With the Hoyas struggling, I'll take the Bulldogs to cover this spread and potentially pull off the upset.
Pick: Butler +3.5 (-115)
