🏀 DePaul vs. Creighton ATS prediction & best Over/Under pick
Here's why I'm betting on Creighton to cover the spread (-11.5) while targeting Under 144.5 as my best Over/Under pick for today:
✅ Creighton to cover the spread (-11.5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
During the regular season, Creighton defeated DePaul by margins of 24 and 10 points. Creighton ranks inside the KenPom top 50 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency and is the far more sound team, while DePaul slots in 115 or lower in both categories.
The Bluejays are strong on the defensive glass and should smother second-chance opportunities away from a DePaul side that ranks near the bottom of Division 1 in offensive rebounds. Since DePaul isn’t particularly efficient with their first opportunities on the offensive end, it’s hard to figure where the Blue Demons find a way to keep this one close.
Creighton is 18-11-2 ATS on the year. It’s a mismatch, and Creighton should cruise to their third double-digit margin of victory over DePaul.
📊 Best odds: -110 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $9.09)

🔥 Under 144.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Both games played between DePaul and Creighton have landed below this game total, with final scores totaling 122 and 140 points in those respective matchups.
With neither side deploying a particularly quick pace—both teams rank outside the top 150 in adjusted tempo—it would require an overly efficient effort offensively to see this game getting Over.
While DePaul has upped its scoring profile in a number of recent games to see several scores clearing this total, the Blue Demons just haven’t demonstrated the ability to pull their weight in the scoring against this particular opponent—or good teams, in general.
📊 Best odds: -110 via bet365 (bet $10 to win $9.09)

🎯 Expert DePaul vs. Creighton score prediction
🔮 Expert score prediction: Creighton 76, DePaul 63
DePaul’s offensive outbursts against mediocre teams like Butler, Providence and Georgetown recently have simply not been an element that has translated for the Blue Demons against quality opponents. Against Marquette, Villanova and St. John’s in recent weeks, the Blue Demons have failed to crack even 60 points.
We think DePaul can sneak over that total, as it did in its last matchup against Creighton, but finding any momentum toward scoring with the Bluejays just seems like an unlikely endeavor given DePaul’s consistent struggles against quality foes.
DePaul’s last five games against teams on the bubble or above have all resulted in double-digit defeats.
