Marquette Golden Eagles vs Butler Bulldogs Prediction, Odds and Picks
The Marquette Golden Eagles hit the road for Indianapolis to face the Butler Bulldogs, and they have bounced back with consecutive wins and covers since an upset loss at home against Xavier on Jan. 18. The back-to-back covers are the most since a 4-0 against the spread run from Nov. 15-27. Marquette is still 4-9 ATS in the past 13 games. These teams met in Milwaukee on Dec. 18, winning 80-70, but the Bulldogs covered as +14.5 underdogs as the over (148.5) cashed. The Golden Eagles have racked up 74 or more points in 6 of the past 7 games, too.
For the Bulldogs, they spanked DePaul 86-69 as -6 favorites — with Over 143.5 cashing. Butler has covered consecutive games, too, but it is still just 3-4 ATS in the past 7 overall. The over has hit in 5 straight while going 8-2 in the past 10 games since Dec. 14. The Bulldogs are a very good 3-point shooting team, hitting 36.7 percent from downtown, while allowing teams to go 31.0 percent from behind the arc. The over is the best play on the board, cashing in the first meeting while going high frequently for the Bulldogs.
