The Hoyas are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 51-22-1 in Orange last 74 road games. The over is 4-0 in Hoyas last 4 home games. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
There’s value to getting the Georgetown Hoyas at home in the underdog role, especially when there’s not a huge gap between these two teams. With that said, Syracuse is the more proven team up to this point and has an edge in terms of offensive depth. I also question if the Hoyas can score enough against this Syracuse zone. I’ll lay the small chalk.
