In this Creighton vs St. John’s Prediction, St. John’s is coming as -13.5 home favorites. St. John’s has been the better team this season and have been scorching-hot lately with ten consecutive wins. They are 12-2 at home and are facing a Creighton squad that has been struggling to cover this season with a 9-18 ATS record and is just 2-5 in its last 7 games and 1-9 against the spread.
