DePaul (11-12) vs Villanova (12-10)
Wednesday, February 05, 2025 at 9:00 pm
My selection is on Villanova minus the points over DePaul at 9 pm ET on Wednesday.
We'll back Villanova as it looks to snap both its three-game SU and six-game ATS losing streaks. The Wildcats suffered an upset loss at home to Creighton on Saturday but have a prime opportunity to get back on track in this winnable road matchup before returning home for two straight games.
DePaul is coming off a win and cover against Seton Hall on Sunday, snapping a three-game skid. However, that victory doesn’t erase the fact that the Blue Demons have struggled mightily, going just 4-12 over their last 16 contests. While DePaul has covered two straight, its longest ATS streak this season was just three games, and that was back in early November.
Villanova completely dominated the first meeting this season, winning 100-56. While this game won’t be quite that lopsided, expect the Wildcats to take care of business and cover.
Take Villanova. Projected score: Villanova 82, DePaul 68.
Sean’s Pick Villanova: -5.5 -105
