Rocketman Sports FREE CBB play Wednesday 2-25-26 Butler @ Villanova (7:00 PM EST) Play On: Butler +9 1/2 The Butler Bulldogs travel to Villanova to take on the Wildcats on Wednesday night. Butler is 15-13 SU overall this year while Villanova comes in with a 21-6 SU overall record on the season. Despite Villanova being a 9.5-point home favorite, there are several reasons to back Butler ATS. Butler’s offense is firing lately – after a five-game skid they ripped off back-to-back wins at Georgetown and vs. Xavier – and their 80.2 PPG scoring (led by Finley Bizjack’s 17.5 PPG and Michael Ajayi’s 16.0 PPG) actually tops Nova’s 77.7 PPG. Villanova isn’t invincible – they just suffered a “humbling” loss to UConn and are without guard Wade Chiddick (knee), while Butler simply swaps injured guard Azavier Robinson (season-out) for a bigger lineup. Vegas has even tightened the line: it opened near Nova -10.5 but is now around -9.5 (Butler +9.5). The public has heavily bet Villanova (63% of bets), implying value on the dog. All told, Butler looks like a smart underdog play at +9.5. We'll recommend a small play on Butler tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Rocky swept the board on Tuesday going 3-0 in CBB!
