Marquette at Georgetown picks and predictions
Prediction
Marquette 83, Georgetown 69
Moneyline
PASS.
The Hoyas have lost 5 in a row -- 2 of which were at home -- and aren't worth a play as big-time underdogs. Similarly, Marquette (-720) is far too expensive to play on the ML.
Against the spread
BET MARQUETTE -11.5 (-110).
The Golden Eagles have covered in 4 of their last 5 games and have covered in 2 of their last 3 on the road. They are 2-2 ATS as double-digit favorites in conference play and covered in a 30-point win over Georgetown earlier in the season.
Georgetown is just 4-4 ATS over its last 8 games and 1-3 ATS over its last 4 at home, all conference games. The Hoyas' last home game was a 24-point loss to Butler, closing as 3.5-point underdogs. This team shouldn't be able to compete with the Golden Eagles.
Take MARQUETTE -11.5 (-110).

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 152.5 (-110).
The Hoyas have gone Over in 5 straight but have scored 70 or fewer in 7 of their last 9 games. Georgetown doesn't have a terrific offense, and Marquette doesn't play at a fast pace.
The Golden Eagles are 8-13 O/U on the season and have gone Under in 6 of their last 10. They have scored 75 or fewer in 5 of their last 8. The 1st matchup between these teams went far Under the 149 total in the 81-51 finish.
Expect a similar battle, and take UNDER 152.5 (-110).
