Manhattan vs Saint Peter’s Prediction

Saint Peter’s defense really stepped up in the last game and they’re going to step up again here. Overall this season they are giving up only 65.7 points per game and they are going to give up even less than that here. Saint Peter’s offense will be good, but they aren’t going to be great, and that will be the difference here as this game is going to stay under the total. Back the under to cash.
