Butler vs Georgetown Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
Georgetown -6.5(-115)

This number is less about how good Georgetown is and more about where Butler is right now. The Bulldogs aren’t just losing; they’re unraveling. When teams hit a true late-season skid, the biggest issue isn’t talent — it’s game flow. Defensive possessions get shorter, offensive patience disappears and small deficits snowball because the group no longer trusts the next stop or the next shot.

That’s the danger against Georgetown at home. The Bulldogs already are 1-7 SU on the road this season and the Hoyas play at a higher level in D.C. Even more concerning, the Hoyas don’t need explosive offense to cover this number — they just need structure. Georgetown has been just fine in holding up, particularly against Butler. These 2 sides last met in January, when the Hoyas controlled the Dogs on both sides of the court in a 77-64 win. Now with home court on their side, all they have to do is rinse, wash and repeat. If Butler falls behind early, their recent profile suggests extended drought risk. Right now, Butler is fragile. At home, Georgetown is positioned to expose that. Let’s lay the points.

Butler vs Georgetown prediction: Georgetown -6.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -7.
