Marquette at DePaul picks and predictions
Prediction
Marquette 83, DePaul 66
Moneyline
PASS.
Marquette is rightfully a heavy favorite, and it should come out on top. However, for wagering purposes, there’s no good option on the moneyline as the road side is far too expensive.
Against the spread
BET MARQUETTE -13.5 (-110).
The Blue Demons were destroyed by Xavier, an unranked side, at home in their last game and lost to the Villanova Wildcats on the road by 44 points earlier in the month. They have consistently struggled to cover this season and are 0-2 ATS as a home underdog.
The Golden Eagles are 3-3 ATS on either a neutral court or on the road. They have scored at least 78 points in 3 of their last 5 games and should be able to score enough to separate themselves here.
Back MARQUETTE -13.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 147.5 (-115).
Marquette has scored well as of late and has hit at least 74 points in 3 straight games and has allowed at least 70 points in 6 of its last 8 contests. It is 5-5 O/U in its last 10 games.
DePaul has allowed at least 81 points in 3 of its last 4 games and is 5-1 O/U in its last 6 contests. The Blue Demons have scored at least 68 points in 3 of their last 5 games.
Back OVER 147.5 (-115).
