Saint Peter’s vs Niagara Prediction
I'm not excited to get behind either Saint Peter’s or Niagara, two below-average teams that can't shoot the basketball. I'm certainly not laying points with the Saint Peter’s Peacocks on the road, with them losing three of their last four games and scoring under 70 points in all three of those losses. The Saint Peter’s Peacocks were just 4-point favorites against Quinnipiac, and they lost while scoring 46 points. Sure, the Niagara Purple Eagles have issues of their own, but we're not being asked to lay points. I'll grab the bucket with Niagara if forced to pick. Saint Peter’s shouldn't be road favorites against anybody in their current form.
Randy’s Pick Niagara +1.5
