The Saint Peter’s Peacocks (7-9, 2-5 MAAC) look to get on track against the Quinnipiac Bobcats (12-5, 3-3) at M&T Bank Arena Friday at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Saint Peter’s vs. Quinnipiac odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Quinnipiac looks to stay in contention with Iona and Sieana for a Metro Atlantic Athletic title while St. Peter’s, after a remarkable run in the NCAA Tournament in 2022, looks to avoid staying out of the basement.
Coming in on a 3-game losing streak, the Peacocks lost Sunday 67-60 to Canisius in overtime as a 3-point favorite. A 7-9 record is not how the Peacocks wanted to start after a strong finish to last season.
Quinnipiac is on a 3-game winning streak after beating Iona 81-58 as 6.5-point favorites on Sunday and will look to avenge an earlier loss this season to St. Peter’s.

Saint Peter’s at Quinnipiac picks and predictions
Prediction
Quinnipiac 65, Saint Peter 61
Moneyline
STAY AWAY from the moneyline in this game. St. Peter’s is on a 3-game losing streak and is not likely to pull of the upset here. Quinnipiac at -550 is not worth a straight wager either, although it could be a solid addition to a parlay.
Against the spread
SAINT PETER’S +9.5 (-105) is the side here.
In the last meeting between these teams on Dec. 18, the Peacocks pulled off a 63-56 win as 4.5-point underdogs. While that was a home game for St. Peter’s, the likelihood of a 17-point swing is not a reason to take this number. With the total of this game at 133.5, I do not see a blowout coming. Covering with a 10-point win does not seem likely for Quinnipiac.
Over/Under
UNDER 133.5 (-115) will make you a winner here.
St. Peter’s, who is 1-7 SU on the road this season, has also been an Under magnet. The Peacocks have gone Under in 11 of 15 Division I games.
Quinnipiac has gone Under in 9 of 16 games and this includes the Under in the 1st meeting between the teams. In that game the Under was an identical 133.5 and the game ended with a total of 119.
