Manhattan Jaspers vs. Saint Peter’s Peacocks Prediction

I’m on Manhattan and the points here. I get the case to be made for the Peacocks in this one, but this just feels like a lot of points to lay with a Peacocks team that plays at a super slow pace offensively and I think that plays into Manhattan’s favor here as the Jaspers can keep it close here. Give me Manhattan and hte points.
