Saint Peter's at Quinnipiac

St. Peter's hasn't packed in the season, winning two of their last three games, while on a 3-0 ATS run. St. Peter's was a dog at Manhattan and won 66-53, and covered as a +12 dog the last game, a 62-59 defeat to Iona. The reason is defense, holding Iona to 38.8% shooting. That should be a surprise as St. Peter's is No. 1 in the MAAC in points allowed (65.3 points per game), second in field goal defense allowing 40.4%, and tops in three-point defense. The Peacocks are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. Quinnipiac is not a great offensive team, shooting 42% in conference play (eighth of 11 teams). The Bobcats are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Quinnipiac allows 78.3 points per game, second most in MAAC play. Quinnipiac is 1-4 ATS after a spread cover and 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. So grab the live, defensive dog. Play St. Peter's.
