Georgetown vs Butler Prediction


In this Georgetown vs Butler Prediction, Butler is coming as -6 home favorites. Butler has been the better team this season and has been very strong at home, and are 3-1 in their last 4 games, following a four-game losing streak. On the flip side, Georgetown is 2-6 in its last 8 games and have been struggling against the spread this season, with a 7-14 ATS record. They also have an inferior offense, scoring 8 points less than the hosts and I don’t think they keep keep this one close on the road. Take Butler and lay the points in this one.
