Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons

St. Peter's +6.5

For a number of different reasons I believe we're getting excellent value on St. Peter's in this situation:

Nick Leon scored a career-high 29 points and Wesley Jenkins added 27 in Saint Peter’s 90-86 double overtime win over Niagara on Monday night.

Leading 82-81 with 2:02 left in the second overtime period, the Peacocks (8-8, 3-3 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) scored five straight to pull away. Leon capped the spurt on a three-point play for an 87-81 lead with 41 seconds remaining.

Darius Conley had 13 points, and Ryan Bacon tallied 12 points and career-highs with 16 rebounds and seven assists for the Peacocks.

I expect the Peacocks to continue to build momentum and play with confidence after their last dominating performance.

On the other side of the court: Ryan Thompson scored 21 points to lead Rider to an 84-62 victory over Marist on Monday night.

The Broncs shot 54.2 % from the field (32-for-59), and scored 17 points off of Marist’s 14 turnovers; however I expect a "letdown" tonight as the Broncos will also have some matchup issues in some key positions.

It's interesting to point out as well that Rider is already a poor 1-3 ATS in front of the hometown crowd this season

Bottom line: The Peacocks have history on their side; 8-2 ATS its last ten when playing on the road vs. the Broncos; look for ST. PETER'S to improve to 5-2 ATS when playing the roll of underdog, and 5-2 ATS vs. conference opponents and for Rider to fall to 0-4 ATS this season after scoring 80 points or more in its previous contest!

9* ST. PETER'S
