Bet on Villanova vs. Georgetown
Villanova has won six straight meetings with Georgetown, but the Hoyas have covered in three of their last five meetings. Georgetown played a pretty weak non-conference schedule and it has led to struggles in Big East play. They have dropped two of their last three by at least 13 points. Villanova has struggled to cover on the road, failing to do so in their last two, but they have still rolled teams like DePaul and Temple on the road. The public betting is slightly with Villanova and I will take the Wildcats as well.
