Away team favorites to win against a home team with better defense and ability to put 70 on you, equals a back and forth matchup that will send this total over the betting line. Xavier has shown over the last 4 away games that you can score on them by allowing an average of 79 points per game in that stretch. I want to take Butler and the points, but they have been so bad, but they've only won 3 of the last 10 games and are 3-10 against the spread too. After the last game they played being a win vs St. John's, I see them playing another high scoring game that shouldn't taper off in tenacity in the second half as it did in that game, bringing us over the 145 mark.

Official Play: Over 145

Side Bet: Xavier -6.5
