DePaul vs Marquette Prediction
I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with a Marquette team that hasn’t covered seven of its last 10 games. The DePaul Blue Demons have also seen all nine of their wins come at home. You can talk yourself into the points. However, DePaul is 2-8 SU in its last 10 games overall and has failed to cover nine of those games. DePaul isn’t playing a lick of defense, allowing 76 or more points in seven of its last 10 games. Even with the Marquette Golden Eagles not covering numbers themselves, they’re comfortably the better team. I have no choice but to lay the points.
