Xavier vs Georgetown Prediction

I’m on Georgetown in this game. I get the case for Xavier to be favored here, but the Hoyas for me are a team that can go toe-to-toe and match what Xavier is bringing to the table here. The Musketeers have been inconsistent in some of their recent games, and while Georgetown’s taken it on the chin in some of their recent games, this to me feels like a spread that feels a few points too big. I think this is a 3-5-point win for Xavier, so I’ll take Georgetown and the points in this matchup.
