Depaul Blue Demons

The Blue Demons covered nine of 11 road spreads in 2025-26; only two Division I teams covered a higher share away from home. Over the season DePaul covered 20 of 32, and 21 of those games went under.

The road team

Four road wins in 11 does not look like much, but DePaul beat the number in nine of those games. The four wins all came as underdogs and all paid: 61-58 at Wichita State at +250, 69-57 at Seton Hall at +285, 72-71 at Creighton at +164 and 62-51 at Marquette at +180. One unit on DePaul in every priced road game made 1.79 units; at home the same bet lost 2.67.

Covering, all season

Twenty covers in 32 lined games, 62.5%; only 20 Division I teams covered more often. They covered 12 of 19 as underdogs and 8 of 13 as favorites. January was the high point, seven covers in eight, including a 72-60 loss at UConn getting 19.5 and single-digit losses at Butler and Xavier. The worst miss was the first home loss: 66-53 to Buffalo in November as -6000 favorites.

At home

At home DePaul went 11-7 and covered 10 of 18. Three January home wins as 2.5-point favorites, over Xavier, Georgetown and Marquette, all covered; the late home losses as favorites, 71-68 to Providence and 81-71 to Butler, did not.

Big East pairs

Seton Hall, Creighton and Marquette each lost twice to DePaul, and DePaul covered all six of those games; Seton Hall alone returned 4.09 units. Providence won both meetings and DePaul covered neither.

The under

Twenty-one unders and 11 overs, 65.6%; only 20 Division I teams went under more often. DePaul scored 70.25 points a game and allowed 69.56. Eight of the 11 road games went under, the 61-58 win at Wichita State and the 62-51 win at Marquette among them.
