Providence at Marquette picks and predictions
Prediction
Marquette 78, Providence 70
Moneyline
PASS.
Marquette (-650) should pick up the win, but the Golden Eagles are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.
Against the spread
LEAN PROVIDENCE +10.5 (-105).
Providence has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games and is 7-3 ATS in its last 10. The Friars are 16-10-1 ATS this season and have covered the spread in 2 of their last 3 meetings with Marquette.
This is a very slight lean as both teams have been hot ATS lately and both have been equally good ATS this season. Marquette is also 16-10-1 ATS on the season, including 8-1 ATS in its last 7 games.

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 149.5 (-108).
The Under hit in Providence's last outing and in its last game vs. Marquette.
For the Golden Eagles, the Under is 3-1 in its last 4 contests. The Under is also safer for both teams this season -- it is 14-10-3 for Providence and 17-10 for Marquette.
This is only a lean because the Over/Under battle has been even in recent matchups between these squads and because the Over has been slightly safer for Providence lately. The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 Providence-Marquette games, while it's 4-2-1 in Providence's last 7 games.
