The Charles Jay Line (Estimate): Georgetown -5

Here are some of the head-to-head trends that relate to online sports betting:

• Marquette has covered three of the last four meetings
• Five of the last six meetings have gone OVER the total
• Georgetown has had the shooting edge in each of the last seven meetings

For Georgetown, this is the best time of the season. The Hoyas have straightened some things out; among those things was inserting Nate Lubick into the lineup to give them some useful size. We already know that this team can be dangerous to online sports bettors who go against them, because they have the ability to hit a lot of threes. Austin Freeman, the team’s leading scorer, is hitting 45%, with Jason Clark at 38%.

Those guys combine with Chris Wright to make more than five treys per game out of the backcourt, and then the Hoyas have recently started to employ small forward Hollis Thompson off the bench, and he is 47% proficient from the arc. That makes for something powerful that is hard for other teams to deal with. Georgetown is still hanging in there at 50.3% overall, which makes them the third most accurate shooting team in the country, which means you had better be able to defend on the perimeter if you want to chalk up the "W" on online sports betting.

Marquette is a team that doesn’t mind doing that, and the Eagles have shot 48% as a team. Of course, they also know they have, by and large, been a team that has played just well enough to lose by a little. And they are still keeping it close while going down; the latest loss was by five points in a trip to Villanova. Do they have enough room here in the online sports betting odds? Maybe, if they can continue to keep the mistakes down (just 12 TO’s per game). Yeah, Marquette, which needs something to improve its at-large hopes, can take another one to the final gun.

JAY’S PLAY: GEORGETOWN BY 2
