Top Cappers News


The UConn Huskies have faced their fair share of close calls this season, and now they're feeling the impact of key injuries to Ahmad Nowell and Liam McNeeley. On the flip side, the Villanova Wildcats have completely flipped the script on their season, securing eight wins in their last 10 games and covering the spread in all eight victories. Add in the electric atmosphere at the Finneran Pavilion, and it’s clear Villanova will have a strong home-court advantage.

That being said, I’m sticking with UConn despite the challenges and the narrow spread. The Huskies have consistently demonstrated that they’re a national powerhouse, earning their reputation as the team to beat in recent years. While I respect Villanova’s impressive run, betting against UConn—especially when the odds remain this favorable—is a tough ask. Give credit to Villanova for their resilience, but I’m backing UConn to get the job done. Take Connecticut ATS
