DePaul vs Providence Prediction
The Providence Friars are a team that doesn’t back down, and they’ve had some success in the underdog role, which includes a blowout win over BYU. However, the DePaul Blue Demons have the scoring depth to give Providence issues and this is a home game where they can make a statement and prove this start is no fluke. I expect the Wintrust Arena to be rocking for this one, and we’re not being asked to lay much. Give me DePaul and the small number.
