Providence vs UConn Prediction
In this Providence vs UConn Prediction, UConn is coming as -16.5 home favorites. UConn has been the far better team this season as they have lost only once in their 20 games played this season. They have had trouble covering spreads this season and are 0-6 against the spread in their last 6 games, while Providence has been in terrible form, with a 2-7 record in their last 9 games. UConn has won its last seven meetings against Providence, but they are 1-3-1 against the spread in their last 5 meetings in Connecticut, so I expect the guests to keep this one somewhat close once again. Take Providence and get the +16.5 points.
