On the other side of this matchup is the Creighton Bluejays who sit with a 12-6 record overall and they have gone 9-9 against the spread. Creighton has won two of their last three games, but the one loss was an ugly one. In the last game against Butler, the offense scored only 55 points and that led to the 17 point defeat. Ryan Hawkins has been the top player for Creighton averaging 12.9 points while shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from behind the three point line.

Creighton is 4-0 against the spread in their last four games played on Saturday. Xavier is 0-5 against the spread in their last five games. The under is 4-1-1 in Creighton’s last six games. The under is 4-1 in Xavier’s last five games. The under is 4-1 in Xavier’s last five games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

Both teams had no issues scoring the first time these two teams faced off, but I think this game will be much different. Creighton is going to really try to slow down the pace, and that will lead to this game staying well under the total. Back the under to cash.
