It’s tough to ignore the momentum of these two teams. In the case of Louisville they’re red hot and headed towards a possible Big East title. Georgetown was a top ten team just weeks ago, but they’re now trying to prevent their season from slip sliding away.

The Hoya’s were the 9th ranked team in the nation as recently as five weeks ago and now isn’t even in the top ten of its own conference. Georgetown has gone 2-8 in its last ten games including a 1-8-1 record ATS.

On the other side of the spectrum are the Cardinals are very much in the hunt for the conference title. They along with U-Conn, Pitt and Marquette all have two Big East losses. Louisville however has the best spread number of any team in the Big East. The Cards are on a 7-3 ATS run and 16-10 vs. the number overall. That includes a sparkling road mark of 6-1 ATS.

In what should be a terrific defensive battle, I’m siding with the sizzling Cards. They’ve got the talent and coaching advantage in this one.
