Niagara vs Saint Peter’s Prediction

Niagara looks like a team that’s ready for the season to end, as it lost five straight games, can’t defend, and is 10-17-1 ATS on the season. Niagara has lost 12 of its 14 road games. Saint Peter’s is playing some of its best ball with wins in four of its last six games and just upset Marist on the road. Saint Peter’s has covered five of its last seven games. This is also a revenge spot after Niagara beat Saint Peter’s in January by 10 points. The line is reasonable. I’ll lay the points with Saint Peter’s, as the Peacocks get a much-needed MAAC victory. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Saint Peter's -4.5
