YTD Best Bet: 2-1
Best Bet: Saint Peter's -11.5 vs. Manhattan
The Peacocks are in a bit of a hot streak as of late. They have won four straight games and have covered in their last five games. The defense for the Peacocks has been the reason for this success, as they are allowing only 63.3 points per contest, which is 7th in all of college basketball. In their last five games they have allowed 53, 53, 65, 60, and 64 points. They are allowing their opponents to shoot only 42% from the field, and they make nothing easy for anyone they are going up against. They are going up against a Manhattan squad that is statistically one of the worst scoring teams in the country, scoring a pitiful 65.8 ppg, 323rd in CBB. They have also lost eight of their last ten games and have failed to cover in three of their last five. This is a classic game where one team is playing really good basketball and the other team is playing poor basketball. Saint Peter's is still very much in the hunt for that top seed in the MAAC, and a big win here will give them some good momentum going into their last two games of the regular season.
