Butler vs Providence Prediction
In this Butler vs Providence Prediction, Providence is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Butler has been the better team this season but have been terrible on the road, with just one win in six road games. Both teams have been struggling lately, as Providence is 1-7 in its last 8 games, while Butler is 3-6 in its last 9 games and 3-5 against the spread, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are a strong 14-4 to the over in their last 18 games combined and their previous meeting earlier this season had a whopping 223 points as it went into overtime. Take the over 170 points in this one.
