Villanova Wildcats vs Marquette Golden Eagles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/10/26

The Villanova Wildcats will travel to Milwaukee on Saturday for a Big East Conference matchup against the Marquette Golden Eagles. Marquette has been one of the most disappointing teams in the country and are in for another test here. The Golden Eagles are just 6-10 this season and have lost six of their last seven games. They did not do much work in the transfer portal this offseason and it is showing in their performance. Villanova has turned their program around under first year head coach Kevin Willard and I expect them to cover the spread here.

Villanova -4.5 is my best bet of the game because they should be able to dominate offensively and defensively. The Wildcats are 12-3 on the year and will likely finish near the top of the Big East standings. Their offense should be able to put up points at high rate in this game, specifically from the three-point line and on the offensive glass. According to KenPom, the Villanova offense is ranked #44 nationally in offensive rebounding percentage and #48 in three-point percentage. Marquette’s defense is ranked just #217 in offensive rebounding percentage and #224 in three-point percentage, so Villanova should be able to take advantage. Take Villanova to cover here.
