Butler vs DePaul Prediction

I’m not excited to back either Butler or DePaul, as these are two slumping teams that aren’t covering numbers. However, Butler is at home, where six of its eight wins this season have come. DePaul is 1-5 SU on the road. The DePaul Blue Demons are also 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Butler has won nine straight games against DePaul and is 7-1-1 ATS in those games. DePaul hasn’t won a game against Butler since January 2020. If Butler can’t take care of business in this game at home, it’s curtains on its season. I’ll lay the chalk with the Bulldogs.
