Creighton vs UConn Prediction
In this Creighton vs UConn Prediction, UConn is coming as -16.5 home favorites. UConn has been the far better team this season and have been almost perfect at home with just one defeat in 14 home games. They have been scorching-hot lately, with a 9-1 record in their last 10 games but 2-8 against the spread, while Creighton has been struggling mightily, with a 1-5 record in its last 6 games while having failed to cover the spread in its last 10 games. UConn has a superior defense, allowing 10 points per game less than Creighton and rank 7th in the entire nation in points allowed, so I expect them to dominate this game at home and cover the spread.
