No. 16 Xavier (19-6) and No. 11 Marquette (20-6) link up in a Big East matchup on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. ET, on the CBS Sports Network, in Milwaukee, WI. The Golden Eagles are favored by 6 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under is set at 160.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college basketball odds page). 

Before making any Xavier vs. Marquette picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. The model enters Week 15 of the season 66-38 on all-top rated college basketball picks this season, returning almost $1,700 for $100 players. Anybody who has followed it has seen HUGE returns. 

The model knows Xavier senior forward Jack Nunge is a powerful force down low. Nunge can win in the lane consistently and has solid moves from the low post. The Indiana native is fifth in the Big East in rebounds (7.9) with 14.7 points per game. On Feb. 1, Nunge finished with 23 points and 14 rebounds.

The model also knows Marquette sophomore guard Kam Jones has the skillet to score from all three levels on the floor. Jones can shoot off the dribble and owns a good range from downtown. The Tennessee native leads the team in points (15.2) with 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He totaled 14 points and three rebounds in his last contest. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Xavier vs. Marquette. It is leaning Under on the total and it also says one side hits over 50% of the time! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
