Vermont vs Marquette Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vermont Catamounts | +10.5 (-117) | +395 | O 144.5(-117) |
| Marquette Golden Eagles | -10.5 (-117) | -704 | U 144.5 (-117) |
It’s not often a team riding a 15-game winning streak finds itself as double digit underdogs, but that’s exactly the case for the Vermont Catamounts in their 1st round matchup. Marquette have opened as 10.5 point favorites and haven’t fared too well against the spread when being pegged to win by 10 points or more.
In eight games where they’ve been double digit favorites, Marquette has a 3-5 ATS record, as opposed to an 11-4 ATS record when situated as single digit chalk. This is the biggest spread the Catamounts have had to deal with this campaign, but Marquette will also be their stiffest test this year.
