Merrimack Warriors vs. Saint Peter’s Peacocks Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. The MAAC historically has been the conference of unders from my experience, and I think this game is honestly no different. Merrimack plays a weird zone defense that confuses teams at the best of times and I think the Peacocks could fall into that here, but we’ve also seen Saint Peter’s over the years be a team that plays a ton of low-scoring games so give me the under in this one.
