St. John’s vs DePaul Prediction

St. John’s is the more talented team and already beat DePaul by 13 points back in December. There’s potential for a blowout here. However, DePaul has been feistier than usual, and it’s led to covers in 7 of its last 9 games. DePaul nearly beat Xavier on the road, upset Seton Hall, and hung around with UConn and Villanova. DePaul is defending well and has been a money maker this season overall. The crowd will show up with a ranked team coming to town. I’ll grab the points with the Blue Demons.
