UConn vs Butler Prediction
In this UConn vs Butler Prediction, UConn is coming as -11.5 road favorites. UConn has been the far better team this season as they have lost only twice in their 24 games played but have been struggling against the spread, as they have a 9-15 ATS record. But Butler has been in very bad form, with four consecutive losses and 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 games and I don’t expect them to cause any trouble to a superior UConn squad that also has the 9th-best defense in the entire nation. Take UConn and lay the points on the road in this one.
