I’m on the Quakers here. I just think these Philly 5 matchups are usually competitive and I like having points in my back pocket when they go down. Penn has been a solid team at home over the years and I just don’t trust Saint Joseph’s laying points away from home here. Give me the Quakers and the points here.
