The Pennsylvania Quakers will take on the Villanova Wildcats for what’s expected to be one of the more lopsided NCAA basketball games today.
Villanova has struggled a bit this season, but they typically find a way to get the job done against teams like the University of Pennsylvania.
Villanova will be coming into this one after an impressive 70-66 win, moving to just 3-5 on the season.
However, the University of Pennsylvania hasn’t been much better this year as they currently sit at 5-6 and are coming off a loss against LaSalle.
Let’s break it down with our Pennsylvania vs Villanova betting stats.
Pennsylvania Quakers vs. Villanova Wildcats Stats
Villanova Stats
Villanova comes into this one, arguably playing the worst basketball we’ve ever seen them play.
This is still one of the good NCAA basketball teams in America, and they have some of the best college basketball players in the country, despite the fact that they have struggled a bit.
Although Villanova didn’t play well at the beginning of the year, perhaps their win against Oklahoma can be exactly what this team needed.
They were able to beat a 6-1 Oklahoma Sooners team, which many believe to be one of the best in America. They have to be better to raise those college basketball standings.
UPenn Stats
The Pennsylvania Quakers odds are going to reflect some of the bad basketball that we’ve seen them play this season.
Although they have been impressive in certain games, it would be tough to argue that this is a good team.
They’re coming into this one after losing their last two games against St. Joseph’s and La Salle.
Pennsylvania Quakers vs. Villanova Wildcats Deacons Betting Trends
- UPenn comes into this one at 3-0 against the spread in their last three games against Villanova.
- Villanova is 1-7 against the spread against teams below .500.
- Penn games have hit the over four games in a row.
Pennsylvania Quakers vs. Villanova Wildcats Predictions
This is certainly one of the more interesting games on both teams’ NCAAB schedule, but we also have to factor in here that Villanova should be able to come away with the win.
If Villanova is going to come out and do what they’ve typically done against teams like UPenn in the past, this is a game that they should easily be able to come away with.
NCAAB Injury Report
They have a few at-college basketball injuries on their college basketball injury report, which is why this team has struggled to start the season.
They’re expected to get some of these guys back sometime in the near future, and that should be huge news for them. That’s important to know with our Pennsylvania vs Villanova betting stats.
Caleb Daniels for Villanova
Caleb Daniels is the guy I’m going to be looking for with our Villanova Wildcats picks. If he can come out and continue doing what he’s done, the Pennsylvania vs Villanova betting stats will certainly favor the Wildcats.
He’s one of the best college basketball players in the country, and I expect him to come out and do what he typically does and that score at an elite level.
Quakers’ Winnings This Season
The University of Pennsylvania comes into this one with also some impressive basketball players on their roster, and we have to give him some credit for what they’ve been able to do.
They have wins on the season against:
- Drexel
- Lafayette
- Hartford
- Colgate
- Delaware
Those are some of the more impressive NCAA basketball teams in mid-major conferences, so it’s been impressive what they’ve been able to do despite their somewhat slow start against some other big schools.
If they can come out and figure out how to get wins against some of those bigger schools, they will put themselves in a good position to win this game.
The NCAAB odds favor Villanova at a high rate.
Who to Bet On?
We are finally here with our Pennsylvania vs Villanova betting prediction, and the best bet in this game is going to be taking Villanova -14.
Although I do have some worries about Villanova because they haven’t necessarily played too well to start the season, I think this is a great time for them to get back on track.
I was particularly interested in what they were able to do against Oklahoma, and if they can come out and repeat that performance, we might even see them win this game by 20-plus points. Back of the Villanova Wildcats in this game for -110 odds.
NCAAB Pick: Villanova -14 (-110)
