Fairfield vs Saint Peter’s Prediction

Fairfield won Manhattan yesterday and are 6-2 both straight up and against the spread in their last 8 games. They have a better overall record but a weaker ATS record, while Saint Peter’s has back-to-back wins following a two-game losing streak, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 11-3 to the under in their last 14 games combined, with Saint Peter’s almost cracking the top-70 of the entire nation in points allowed. Two of their last three head-to-head matches were low-scoring ones and I expect another one today. Take the under.
