Mar 08, 2025 | 14:00 ET | Jersey City, NJ

Saint Peter's
Moneyline Pick: Saint Peter's (-752) - B+

Saint Peter's recently ended a brief two-game slump, while Canisius has struggled through four straight defeats, putting the Peacocks in a prime spot for redemption in Jersey City. Canisius’s center (C) remains questionable with a lingering knee strain, which weakens their interior presence at a critical time. Meanwhile, Saint Peter’s guard, who has consistently outscored this opponent in past meetings, looks set to dominate again. Both teams have crossed the 41-game benchmark, adding a layer of postseason urgency to this matchup. Backing Saint Peter’s on the moneyline earns a B+ rating for both the solid likelihood of success and worthwhile return.

Over/Under Pick: Over 131.5, (-110) - B+

Saint Peter’s guard Jamal Rivers has been eager to shake off a three-game losing streak, looking to exploit a Canisius defense that has dropped its last four contests and remains without its starting forward, who is sidelined by a lingering knee issue (team announcements). Historically, Canisius center Chris Patterson has been a thorn in the Peacocks’ side, racking up double-doubles in three previous encounters (local sportscast). Even so, Saint Peter’s backcourt trio tends to thrive against bigger lineups, hinting that ample scoring opportunities will surface for both squads. This combination makes the over a solid bet, likely offering a respectable return to risk.

Spread Pick: Saint Peter’s, -12 (-105) – B+
Saint Peter’s forward Jaylen Murray, currently suiting up and healthy according to team updates, will be a central figure in this matchup against a Canisius squad that has dropped its last four outings, while the Peacocks have split their previous two. Saint Peter’s gains an edge with no key injuries reported, whereas the Golden Griffins may be missing a vital contributor who has been nursing a lingering ankle issue. Historically, the Peacocks have held the upper hand in head-to-head conference clashes, which factors into this projection. Backing Saint Peter’s to cover -12 earns a B+ grade because of the moderate payout potential at -105 odds—enough to reward those looking for a confident, solid return on game day.
