UConn at Georgetown picks and predictions
Prediction
UConn 83, Georgetown 68
Moneyline
PASS.
UConn (-3000) should pick up the win here, but the Huskies are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
LEAN GEORGETOWN +17.5 (-120).
Georgetown has covered in each of its last 4 meetings with UConn and in 2 of its last 3 games overall.
Georgetown's defense, which allows 75.9 points per game (PPG), is awful, but the Hoyas' offense averages 72 PPG and should carry them to a cover.
This is a very slight lean, as both teams have been pretty even ATS this season and because the Huskies are the much better team, but I like the Hoyas to be able to keep this one within 18 points.

The Over has also hit in 5 of the last 6 UConn-Georgetown matchups and is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
