Providence is coming into this game as a 13 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Providence has won 4 of their last 5 games and they were all against conference opponents. They have been playing very well at home this season with a 10-0 record there and are coming off of a win by double digits in their last game. They are getting a Georgetown team that has not been playing well against conference opponents this season. They have lost their last 4 straight and 3 of them were to conference opponents, losing those games by double digits. Providence bounced back in their last game after a rare loss and they should be able to start building up their win streak again with a big win here at home. The best bet to place in this game is on Providence to cover the spread here.
