Villanova vs. Georgetown Prediction, Odds, Line, Spread, and Picks - January 4 | 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Season

The Villanova Wildcats will take a trip south to the nation's capital to face the Georgetown Hoyas. Both teams have gotten off to rougher starts than they imagined this season.

Villanova are 7-7 this season after losing their last two games against Big East rivals. They began their season ranked and have not lived up to that since. But they still have a chance to turn the season around, and this is an excellent opportunity to begin that journey.

Georgetown wrapped up out-of-conference play at 5-6 and has not won a game since, dropping them to 5-10. They are on a five-game losing streak that includes two blowout losses at home. It's early enough for them to revive their season too, but they're running out of time.

Tonight's game could prove pivotal for both programs. Let's see which team will come out on top tonight.

Villanova vs. Georgetown Betting Prediction

Villanova's struggles are nothing compared to Georgetown's right now. Their defense is one of the worst in the nation and regressing. Villanova at least has the excuse of playing against two of the top teams in the conference in their losses. Georgetown's two recent Big East losses were against teams near them in the standings, and they were blowouts. Villanova should coast to a win.

Prediction: Villanova -9.0 (-110)
