Niagara is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games following a loss. The over is 5-1-1 in Niagara’s last 7 games. Saint Peter’s is 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games. The under is 22-6 in Saint Peter’s last 28 home games. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Saint Peter’s started the year playing poorly, but has really turned on during conference play. Niagara is in the bottom half of the MAAC standings and has dropped three of their last four. The difference in this game will be Saint Peter’s defense and rebounding. I like the Peacocks here.
