Providence vs Villanova Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
We have the cream of the crop in the Big East facing off tonight. Their previous matchup was one of the best Big East games this season, with Villanova getting the road win, 89-84. The game was higher scoring than most expected. With the game total low again tonight, we have another opportunity to bet the over.
Providence has only one loss in their past 12 games, which was to Villanova. The Wildcats are coming off of a controversial loss to UConn. They have a couple of losses to Marquette in 2022 as well, but they have been perfect in the other games.
While I would lean Providence’s way in betting the spread, the better bet is taking the over. Both teams are consistently hitting the over, as seen in the college basketball betting trends above.
Our college basketball betting Providence vs Villanova prediction today will be betting the point total going OVER at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Villanova an 88.9% chance to win.
