Quinnipiac
Pick: Quinnipiac Moneyline (-450) - B

Quinnipiac enters this matchup riding a three-game winning streak, showcasing their ability to finish strong in conference play. Meanwhile, Saint Peter’s has dropped four in a row, struggling against quality opponents and showing signs of fatigue late in games. The Bobcats hold a key advantage with their star forward, who has historically performed well against Saint Peter’s, averaging over 18 points and 8 rebounds in their last three meetings. With Quinnipiac's superior depth and strong home-court presence, the Bobcats are in a favorable spot, though the steep odds limit the value of the bet. While the pick has a high likelihood of hitting, its monetary upside is only moderate. Given the factors at play, this pick earns a solid B rating.

Pick: Under 138.5 - B
Quinnipiac has been on fire with a four-game winning streak, but their offense faces a potential roadblock with starting guard Matt Balanc nursing an ankle injury, which could hinder their usual scoring efficiency. Saint Peter’s, on the other hand, has dropped five straight and has struggled mightily on the offensive end, averaging just 61.2 points over that stretch. Historically, these two teams have engaged in defensive battles, with four of their last five meetings falling under the projected total. Quinnipiac’s home advantage might keep them in the driver’s seat, but their pace slows significantly without Balanc facilitating the attack. With Saint Peter’s already struggling to break 65 points consistently and Quinnipiac’s potential scoring limitations, the value leans towards the under at 138.5. This bet earns a solid “B” due to the uncertainty surrounding Balanc’s status, but if he’s sidelined, this wager’s upside increases.
Pick: Quinnipiac -9 (-110) - B+

 

Quinnipiac has been one of the most dominant teams in the MAAC this season, sitting at 9-2 in conference play and riding a five-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Saint Peter’s has been in freefall, losing six straight, and their offensive struggles remain a major concern. Historically, Quinnipiac has controlled this matchup, covering in three of the last four meetings. The Bobcats' defense has been suffocating against weaker offensive teams, and Saint Peter’s simply lacks the firepower to keep up. Given the Peacocks’ prolonged slump and their key injury concerns, expecting Quinnipiac to cover at home seems like a strong position. This spread provides solid value, making it a strong B+ pick.
