Villanova at Pittsburgh

Nova comes in here ranked No. 3 in the country. Despite losing six straight in this arena, the Wildcats are favored. I like them the get it done. The last time these teams met, Scottie Reynolds nailed "The Shot" - a buzzer-beater in last year's tournament that sent the top-seeded Panthers packing and Villanova to the Final Four. You might think Pittsburgh will be out for revenge here, and they will, but the fact is, there is only one starter back from last year's team and others gone too so it's not so vivid for these players. I believe the motivational edge actually goes to Nova here as they are looking to prove they can win here and they certainly don't want to suffer back-to-back losses. This team doesn't shrink on the road where they have amassed an 11-2 record. They have the offense to pierce Pitt's great defense. Under Jay Wright, this team is 55-36 ATS on the road including 11-3 ATS as a favorite of 3 points or less. Nova here.
