UConn vs Creighton Prediction
UConn has the horses to beat up on any team and already smoked Creighton a couple of weeks ago. Creighton is down bad with losses in 7 of its last 10 games, and it has failed to cover all 10 of those games. Creighton is a tough sell in its current form. With that said, UConn has allowed teams to hang around at times, and it’s produced a 9-17 ATS record. UConn is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 games as a double-digit favorite.
This feels like an overreaction, and while Creighton is in terrible form, there’s still talent on this team. Creighton isn’t as bad as this recent stretch indicates. Creighton is a prideful bunch, and this will be just the seventh time since 2020 that it’s been a double-digit dog. Give me the points.
