Providence vs Creighton Prediction

The Creighton Bluejays have found their form these last couple of weeks with wins in nine of their last 10 games, and they just have more life offensively at the moment. The Providence Friars have seen nine of their 11 wins come at home this season, but they miss Bryce Hopkins, and it leads to losses in pretty much every game against decent competition. I don’t believe Providence has the offensive horses to compete with Creighton, and we just saw it last month when the Friars lost by 20 points as a nine-point underdog. Creighton is 7-0 SU and ATS in its last seven games. Not sure Providence ends that streak. Give me the Bluejays on the road on Wednesday night.
