Pittsburgh vs Villanova Prediction
In this Pittsburgh vs Villanova Prediction, Villanova is coming as -10.5 home favorites. Villanova has been the better team this season and have been undefeated at home, while Pitt has lost its only road game. Pitt has also been struggling lately, as they are 1-4 in their last 5 games and 1-4 against the spread, while Villanova saw their seven-game winning streak end with a loss in Michigan and are looking to bounce back. They have a far better offense than Pitt and a +11.7 point differential this season so I expect them to take care of business at home. Take Villanova and lay the points.
