Providence Friars vs Creighton Bluejays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 01/14/25

We head to the Big East on Tuesday for our Providence Friars vs Creighton Bluejays prediction. These teams currently sit in the middle of the pack in the conference standings. Providence hits the road riding a 2-game winning streak, but both games were at home, where the Friars are 8-2 on the season. As with most teams, it is a different story on the road, and playing at Creighton is no picnic. The Bluejays have only lost once at home this season, and that was to neighboring Nebraska. I look for Creighton to hold serve at home, and I am comfortable taking them to cover -9 inside their own gym.

I think the key to this game will be 3-point shooting. Both teams shoot the deep ball at a rapid clip, depending on the outside shot for much of their offense. For Providence, defending the arc has been a priority as well, and when they are successful, they are running people off the line and forcing low-percentage jumpers. Can they execute that plan in a tough road environment? I am not expecting so. Creighton will have at least the two most talented players on the floor, and that should be the difference. Laying 9 points feels about right for the better team playing at home. My Providence vs Creighton pick is for the Bluejays to cover.

Providence vs Creighton Prediction: Creighton -9 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
