Georgetown is fresh off a disappinting1-point loss to Holy Cross Saturday. The 68-67 loss marked the worst upset for the favored-by-17.5 Hoyas since Nov. 17, 2016 -- a loss to Arkansas State as a 22-point favorite.

Georgetown at Rutgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Rutgers 77, Georgetown 67
Moneyline
PASS: no value to be found between these prices.
Against the spread
Georgetown has taken better care of the basketball than it has the last couple seasons, but it is early and this Hoyas squad does not have much continuity together so this one will be a test.
Peg the Scarlet Knights with enough of an advantage on the boards and in getting to the line to push the final margin into double digits.
But the lean is small: consider a partial-unit play on RUTGERS -8.5 (-120).

Over/Under
The Under has cashed in all 3 Rutgers games, but look for this one to swing the other way. Both teams can push the ball in transition when the situation warrants. Although neither side has played with much pace yet, Rutgers has been upping its tempo since a plodding performance in the loss to Princeton.
The Knights do a nice job of getting to the free-throw line, and both sides fare well hitting the offensive boards. Georgetown has hit a robust 37.5% of its triples so far and won't be shy about launching them when down by a couple or 3 possessions in a comeback bid.
TAKE THE OVER 135.5 (-110).
