CREIGHTON vs GEORGETOWN PREDICTION PICK

This will be a revenge game for Creighton as they were not prepared for Georgetown a few weeks back in a game they played terribly. Georgetown played one of its best games of the season shooting over 50% from the field and 48% from three-point land, nailing 10 three’s and going 18 of 24 from the foul line. Everything lined up perfectly for the Hoyas in that game but today Creighton will be more prepared. The Hoyas are playing their best basketball right now which has the public jumping all over them getting the points at home but the sharps are on the other side hitting Creighton. This line should be much lower which says a lot about what Vegas is looking for the public to take the home team and the points. The Bookie is rolling with the Creighton Bluejays to cover the spread.
