Creighton Bluejays

Nine covers in 31 lined games was the Bluejays’ 2025-26 spread record, and just two Division I sides did worse. Their moneyline still finished ahead, because one road win paid 10 to 1.

Nine covers

Creighton’s 2025-26 against the spread reads like a misprint: 9 covers, 22 misses, 29.0%. Of 365 Division I teams, 362 covered more often. At home it was 4 covers in 16; as favorites, also 4 in 16.

February was the low point on the line, 1 cover in 8 games and a 2-6 record. It was also the month the moneyline made 4.8 units.

The +1000 night

That February profit came from one game: 91-84 at UConn on 18 February, with Creighton getting 15.5 points and +1000 on the moneyline. Two more road wins as underdogs, 76-72 at Villanova at +185 and 98-57 at Xavier at +136, lift the 12 priced road games to 6.51 units, with the road record itself only 4-8.

So the full-season moneyline, 31 games at one unit each, closed 0.27 units up while the spread record sat near the bottom of the country. The 15 underdog moneylines made 3.51; the 16 favorite moneylines lost 3.24.

At home

The Bluejays went 10-6 at home and lost 3.88 units on the home moneyline. Three of the home defeats came as favorites of -192 or shorter: Kansas State 83-76, DePaul 72-71 and Providence 79-76.

Big East opponents

Seton Hall met Creighton three times and won two, including the Big East quarterfinal that ended the conference season. DePaul, Providence and St. John’s each won both games, and Creighton covered none of those six.

The total leaned slightly under, 17 to 15. After the season Creighton beat Rutgers in the College Basketball Crown and lost to West Virginia.
