Georgetown vs DePaul Prediction

The Georgetown Hoyas are good, but I’m not excited to lay near double-digit chalk with them. I don’t think we’re there yet with Georgetown. With that said, the DePaul Blue Demons are free-falling with losses in eight of their last 10 games, and they’re 2-7-1 ATS during that stretch. DePaul has allowed 77 or more points in five straight games. Georgetown is 4-1 ATS in its last five games as a favorite. Backing DePaul simply isn’t an option in its current form. This should be a blowout win for the Hoyas at home. I’ll lay the chalk with the Hoyas at home.
