DePaul at Marquette picks and predictions
Prediction
Marquette 72, DePaul 59
PASS.
There's no reason to take a moneyline play here. Marquette is too expensive to play on the moneyline, especially riding a 3-game losing streak. DePaul, on the other hand, has struggled immensely on the road and is unlikely to pull off the upset against a top-25 side.
BET DEPAUL +17.5 (-110).
The Blue Demons have covered well as a double-digit underdog as of late. They are 2-0 ATS in their 2 games as an underdog of 10 points or greater. DePaul is 4-3 ATS in its last 7 games as well.
Marquette has failed to cover 3 in a row and has often come up short as a double-digit favorite in conference games. It is 1-5 ATS in that position this season. The Golden Eagles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home.
Take DEPAUL +18.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 144.5 (-115).
The Golden Eagles are 1-3 O/U in their previous 4 games and 10-14 O/U on the season. They have scored 69 or fewer points in 3 straight games.
DePaul, which scored just 49 points in its last game, has gone Under in 3 straight and in 4 of its last 5 outings. It has allowed 73 or fewer in 5 of its last 6 as well, so its defense has been much improved over the last few weeks.
Take UNDER 143.5 (-110).
