Villanova +136

Xavier -162

Villanova has lost three straight road games and they have won just two true road games all season.
Xavier is battle-tested, having played the sixth-toughest schedule in college basketball according to Kenpom.

On Wednesday night, we are in for a fascinating Big East matchup between the Villanova Wildcats and Xavier Musketeers. Both teams in this Villanova vs Xavier matchup are within a game of the .500 mark in conference play. But we expect Xavier to remain above .500 in league play and for Villanova to end up below that mark, as Xavier should win and cover the spread at home here against a Villanova team that has lost three straight road games in conference action.
