Picks and Prediction for Marquette vs. St. John's
Marquette vs. St. John's Odds, Picks, and Prediction
- Marquette +14.5 (4 units)
I know who the better team is, but that's a lot of points to give in a conference matchup. Marquette has covered two of their last three games. St. John's has laid double digits against Providence (-14.5) and lost outright at home. They didn't cover the 26.5 against Harvard, the 19.5 against DePaul, the 12.5 against Ole Miss or the 27.5 points against Iona. They are 0-5 ATS in their last five games as a double-digit favorite.
- Under 155.5 (5 units)
This is the better play. Both teams want to push the tempo, but neither squad is great when it comes to three-point shooting. On the road, Marquette is shooting a dismal 35.5% from the field and 27.8% from beyond the arc, while St. John's is holding teams to just 27.4% from 3-point range at home. Marquette has gone under in five of their last seven games. St. John's has gone under in eight of their last 10 games.
