Rutgers is the best 10-18 team in the history of basketball

I agree. Providence off a huge win against Pitt at home sounds like the perfect spot for a let down. How many times have we seen it this year.
 
Rutgers +3.5

Providence here guys. Rutgers has lost by 10 or more point in the last 3 games. Agreed Rutgers has had a tough schedule, but prov did beat Pit and is coming off a weeks rest.

Providence -3.5, on the bubble and know that if they lose they are done.  They win by 4 or more easy. Rutgers is a dump

Coming off the big upset of #1 Pitt... and regaining NCAA Tournament hopes, Providence could not be in a better spot in this one... tipping off against a Rutgers team  (1-14 in Big East play TY)  that they've had zero problems with over L5 meetings... winning all five by an avg of over 15 ppg! 
 
With a 9-7 Big East record... and facing a regular-season ending trip to Villanova on Thursday... gotta believe Friars' in a must-win situation this afternoon... and, I'm betting they get it done:
 
Providence 80  Rutgers 68

Here's the thing guys.....why is this line so low???
This is a great spot to take Rutgers, all things pointing in that direction with this low number. I just can't put my hard earned $$$ on a team who is 1-14 in conf. Rutgers lost 6 in a row with their only conf. win coming against Depaul and before that win they lost 9 in a row.
 
It just looks TOOOOOO easy to take Prov. here, I'll prob. just lay off this one.
 
GOOD LUCK GUYS

Exactly if they have beat them by an average of 15 points last 5 times they have played. Why are they only -3.5? Seems way to easy if you ask me. I'm takeing Rutgers in the upset of the day.

The Friars are -0.5 2H and it hasn't moved. I expect Rutgers to keep it close for a while and  Prov. to pull away.
 
Hope some of you jumped on KS 1H as they normally run everyone out at home 1H. Was hard to pass up a small spread when it's normally 5-10.
