I would probably say that Villanova is the best team that WV has played thus far and would give strength of schedule to Providence. Looking at the last meetings between these 2 teams WV beat them by 23, but that is the only game in the past 10 meetings where WV has covered a line of 12 like tonights. Looking at the past 3 matchups the line has been 1, 5 &6. Kinda makes you wonder why the line tonight is double of what it has been in the past? Taking all the info that I have researched and the line movement, with no injuries for either team, I am leaning on Providence +12. |
