Free Betting Pick: Georgetown Hoyas -2
I will back the Georgetown Hoyas in this matchup as they are a significantly better scoring team than the Bulldogs and factor in the fact they return home where they are 10-4 straight up. Georgetown has shown scoring depth throughout their starting lineup as all 5 starters reached double-digits in their latest game against Providence. Butler will not be able to keep pace with the Hoyas in the scoring department which will prove to be a factor especially in the 2nd half. Georgetown wins and covers the spread 78-72.
