Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Georgetown Hoyas Prediction

In this Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Georgetown Hoyas Prediction, Nebraska is coming as -7-point favorites. This feels like a big spread, as both teams have the same number of wins this season. While Nebraska has a better offense, Georgetown boasts a better defense, being a top-90 team in the nation.  

Both teams are coming in poor form in this matchup, as Georgetown is 2-5 in their last 7 games, but 5-3 against the spread in their last 8, while Nebraska is 1-5 in their last 6 games and 2-4 against the spread. Both teams were very efficient offensively in the first round of the tournament, scoring 85 and 86 points, while not doing so good defensively, allowing 78 and 82 points. Their total points were 164 and 167 points, so I am expecting a high scoring game today. Take the over 152.5 points in this one.
