Wisconsin vs. Providence Picks

Point Spread Pick for Wisconsin vs. Providence

  • Wisconsin Badgers -6 (4 Units)

The Badgers have won four of their last five games, while the Friars have won three of their last five games. Wisconsin has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 85 points per game while making 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 79 percent of their free throws. They rebound the ball well, and they grab more than 11 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They don’t turn the ball over much and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Friars aren’t very good defensively, and they gave up more than 75 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Badgers. Go with Wisconsin to cover the spread.
