Why Bet on Georgetown?

The Georgetown Hoyas seem pretty helpless right now heading into this game. The Hoyas are at the bottom of the Big East standings, winning just 1 of 7 games. The lone conference win this season for Georgetown was over St. John’s. For good measure, the Hoyas backed it up with a win over the Connecticut Huskies, a former conference foe. The Georgetown offense is led by guard Rodney Pryor. He is scoring 18 points per game, playing in nearly 32 minutes per game. The Hoyas are scoring 76.3 points per game, and allowing just over 72 per game. Georgetown is likely not going to make the tournament for the 31st time in school history.

Why Bet on Creighton?

Not only did the Creighton Blue Jays lose their second game of the season last week, but also their top point guard. Maurice Watson Jr, who was scoring more than 12 points per game, and dishing out just shy of 9 assists per game is out for the season. Creighton then played no defense in a lackluster conference loss at home. The Blue Jays are scoring in bunches. Creighton is 10th in the nation with more than 87 points per game. The Blue Jays are usually a much better defensive team, allowing just over 72 points per game. Creighton had a home game with DePaul coming up, and then they will go out on the road and take on the Butler Bulldogs.

Betting Pick & Score Prediction

The Georgetown Hoyas are just not a very good basketball team. They are on the verge of falling under .500 this season. There will come a point in time when John Thompson III is looked at as getting fired as the head coach. This is a bad team, and not a whole lot of promise going forward. Despite not having their point guard, Creighton should win this game. The Blue Jays are better on offense, and better on defense than the Hoyas. Unless Creighton goes cold from the field, they will win this game. The final bet for this game is the Creighton Blue Jays -3.5 over the Georgetown Hoyas on Wednesday night.
