Butler vs UConn Prediction
UConn is just 9-15 ATS on the season, so I’m not thrilled to lay these sort of numbers. However, UConn is fresh off a loss that snapped a lengthy winning streak, so this team should be focused and pissed off.
Moreover, Butler is 0-4 SU and ATS in its last 4 games. Butler doesn’t do much of anything right on either side of the ball and that could lead to an ugly result against a balanced UConn team. UConn beat Butler by 19 points back in December and is 10-0 SU and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against the Bulldogs overall. I have to lay the points.
