Bet on Butler vs. Georgetown

The road team has won three straight meetings in this series, covering the spread in all three as well. The Bulldogs are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven meetings with the Hoyas. Butler has also covered in five of its last six after a win and in five straight after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Georgetown is just 1-5 ATS in its last 6 conference games and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 after a win of more than 20 points. The public betting is siding with Butler today and I think the Bulldogs should be more battle-tested and ready to get past the Hoyas.
