MAAC Tournament: Saint Peter’s at Fairfield odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Saint Peter’s vs. Fairfield odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Saint Peter’s Peacocks (18-13) and Fairfield Stags (22-11) meet in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Tournament Championship Game Saturday at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPNU/ESPN+). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Saint Peter’s vs. Fairfield odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The 5th-seeded Peacocks dispatched Rider and Quinnipiac in the first 2 tournament games, covering both outings while also hitting the Under in each game. Saint Peter’s is looking to get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2022, when it made history getting to the Elite Eight as a 15-seed.

The 2nd-seeded Stags haven’t been dancing since 1997, and they’re 0-3 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. Fairfield has topped Iona and Marist to position itself for a trip to the tourney, and despite a non-cover against Marist in the semis, Fairfield is 6-2 ATS in the past eight outings, while the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games.

Fairfield swept the regular-season series, covering at home, while missing the cover at Saint Peter’s Feb. 10. The Stags are 3-2 ATS in the pat 5 meetings, with the Under holding a slight 6-4 edge in the previous 10 in the series.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Saint Peter’s at Fairfield picks and predictions

Prediction

Fairfield 66, Saint Peter’s 61

Moneyline

FAIRFIELD (-152) is worth a look as a moderate favorite on the moneyline, if you want some action in this title game, but don’t want to lay the points.

The Stags have won 4 of the past 5 meetings in this series, but they’re likely to have a ton of nerves as they try to break a long NCAA Tournament drought, so expect a tight game with plenty of ebbs and flows.

Against the spread

FAIRFIELD -2.5 (-115) has been the more consistent team overall this season, and it is a solid 6-2 ATS across the past 8 games.

Saint Peter’s has been equally hot against the number, cashing in both games in the conference tourney, while going 8-2 ATS across the past 10 outings.

Fairfield is the better choice, but either way, expect a close game.

Over/Under

UNDER 128.5 (-115) is worth a look in this title game on the boardwalk.

The Under has cashed in both games for Saint Peter’s in the MAAC tourney, and the Under cashed in the most recent battle with Fairfield on Feb. 10.

For the Stags, the total went low against Iona and Marist in this tourney, and the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games dating back to March 7.

MAAC Tournament: St. Peter’s vs. Rider odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s St. Peter’s vs. Rider MAAC Tournament odds, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The St. Peter’s Peacocks (13-17, 8-13) and Rider Broncs (16-13, 13-7) meet Wednesday in a 2nd-round matchup in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Tournament. Tip from the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., will be approximately 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the St. Peter’s vs. Rider odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

St. Peter’s made a historic run in the NCAA Tournament last season, becoming the first No. 15 seed to advance to the Elite Eight. After coach Shaheen Holloway bolted for Seton Hall, and nearly every star from that historic team transferred, it has been a challenging season for the Peacocks.

However, it’s tournament time, and St. Peter’s roughed up Fairfield by a 70-52 score in the opening round of the MAAC tourney. Is it time for another special and unlikely postseason run?

Rider served St. Peter’s its most recent loss, winning 73-60 in Jersey City as a 3.5-point favorite as the Over cashed. The Broncs also destroyed the Peacocks 82-61 on Feb. 3 to cover a 5-point number as the Over also hit.

St. Peter’s vs. Rider picks and predictions

Prediction

Rider 66, St. Peter’s 57

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publishing. Rider would likely be a little on the expensive side for a standalone bet, or a little too much risk for not enough reward.

AVOID, and focus on the spread instead.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

Roll with RIDER -7.5 (-115) in this MAAC tourney game, as it looks to clip St. Peter’s +7.5 (-105) before it can rev things up and go deep into the postseason.

The Broncs belted the Peacocks in both regular-season meetings, covering both outings rather easily. In fact, Rider won both contests by an average of 17.0 points per game. Ride with Rider to a cover, as the Broncs advance in rather easy fashion.

Over/Under

UNDER 126.5 (-110) is the lean, but it’s only worth playing lightly.

The Under is 5-2 in the last 7 games for St. Peter’s against teams with a winning overall record. St. Peter’s has cashed the Under at a 27-12 clip in the past 39 games after a cover, too. For Rider, the Under is 5-2-1 in the last 8 games when facing a team with a losing overall record, too.

Saint Peter’s at Quinnipiac odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Saint Peter’s at Quinnipiac odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

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.

Saint Peter’s at Maryland odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Saint Peter’s at Maryland odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Saint Peter’s Peacocks (6-5) and the No. 23 Maryland Terrapins (8-3) meet Thursday at Xfinity Center in College Park, Md. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the St. Peter’s vs. Maryland odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Peacocks have posted back-to-back victories against Hartford (58-57, Dec. 13) and Quinnipiac (63-56, Sunday) to get back over .500. The outright win 4.5-point underdogs against Quinnipiac snapped an 0-4 ATS skid, too. The Under is 4-0 in the past 4 for Saint Peter’s, and 6-1 in its last 7 outings.

The Terrapins were drilled 87-60 by UCLA last time out on Dec. 14, their 3rd consecutive loss after opening 8-0 straight up and 7-1 ATS. The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games overall for Maryland.

Saint Peter’s at Maryland picks and predictions

Prediction

Maryland 76, St. Peter’s 54

Moneyline

There was no money line at the time of publishing, but it wouldn’t be worth pursuing even if one is released before tip-off.

Against the spread

SAINT PETER’S +22.5 (-115) is worth playing lightly in this road game against skidding Maryland.

The Terps have to be super angry after getting their tail kicked by UCLA last time out, but the Peacocks won’t be able to come close to duplicating that.

The concern for Maryland is that fact F Julian Reese (11.2 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.1 BPG) is a question mark due to a nagging shoulder injury.

Over/Under

UNDER 131.5 (-115) is the lean, but play it very, very lightly.

The trends point to the Under, going 7-0 in the past 7 road games for the Peacocks and 4-0 in the past 4 on the road against teams with a winning home mark.

The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games overall for the Terps while going 13-6 in the past 19 at home against teams with a losing road record.

St. Peter’s at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s St. Peter’s at Seton Hall odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The St. Peter’s Peacocks (1-0) and the Seton Hall Pirates (1-0) meet Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (FS2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the St. Peter’s vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Peacocks of St. Peter’s made a historic run to the Elite Eight last season. Now, its former coach is patrolling the sideline for the opponent on Saturday.

Seton Hall coach Shaheen Holloway will lead his Pirates against his former team, St. Peter’s, and defensive specialist KC Ndefo followed his coach to Seton Hall.

The Peacocks also saw G Daryl Banks III (St. Bonaventure), F Hassan Drame and F Fousseyni Drame (La Salle), G Doug Edert (Bryant), G Matt Lee (Missouri State) and F Clarence Rupert (Southern Illinois) transfer to other schools, breaking up the historic team.

St. Peter’s won its opener against NJIT by a 73-59 count Monday, covering as an 8-point favorite as the Over cashed.

Seton Hall also played a New Jersey school in its opener, routing Monmouth, another MAAC team, by a 79-52 score Wednesday as 19.5-point favorites.

St. Peter’s at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 78, St. Peter’s 58

Moneyline

Seton Hall (-1600) will cost you 16 times your potential return, and even in a multi-team parlay, there is no reason to include such a heavy favorite.

PASS, and look to the line instead.

Against the spread

SETON HALL -15.5 (-120) is a solid play in this Garden State battle in Newark.

There will likely be a flood of emotions early on for Holloway and Ndefo, but the fact so many new faces have replaced familiar ones will ease the pain. The Pirates should be able to handle their business. The Peacocks will draw a lot of attention because of their Cinderella run last season, but they’re a shell of their former selves.

Over/Under

OVER 131.5 (-112) is the lean here.

Seton Hall shot well in its first game, hitting 45.3% from the field while bagging 8 triples. The Pirates struggled from the free-throw line at just 59% (23-of-39). If Seton Hall picks up the pace from the line, it should be able to exceed its opening-game total in points.

St. Peter’s shot just 39% (26-of-59) in the opener, including just 27% (6-of-22) from behind the arc. With a little improvement, it too could see an uptick in offensive production. As such, the Over is the play here.

St. Peter’s at Monmouth odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s St. Peter’s at Monmouth odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The St. Peter’s Peacocks (12-11, 10-6 MAAC) and Monmouth Hawks (18-9, 10-6) tangle Friday night in West Long Branch, N.J. The contest at OceanFirst Bank Center is slated to tip off at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the St. Peter’s vs. Monmouth odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

St. Peter’s is playing its third straight game on the road after winning at Fairfield last Friday and losing at Siena Sunday. The Peacocks are a defense-first squad that, since Dec. 12, had allowed just 61.5 points per game before yielding 84 at Siena Sunday. SPU is 5-4 across its last nine road games.

The Hawks lost at St. Peter’s Jan. 14 as part of a four-game losing streak. Monmouth has since gone 8-3 with strong defensive and rebounding numbers. Like the Peacocks, Monmouth is a strong defensive team. The Hawks have held foes to a 36.8% shooting mark over their last thee games.

St. Peter’s at Monmouth odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Monmouth 71, St. Peter’s 65

Money line

Monmouth performs well against teams that allow a fair amount of breakaway buckets, and that puts SPU in the Hawks’ target sights. MU’s last four games have been especially solid. MONMOUTH (-200) is a fair price; just one without much value. Consider the ATS action as providing better leverage.

Against the spread

The Hawks are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games against winning teams.

Look for a veteran Monmouth core to post a big effort in this Friday night revenge spot. TAKE THE HAWKS -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Meeting No. 1 hit the Under but was pegged at 136.5. Figure that original total as being a solid enough starting point here. Peg the OVER 131.5 (-112) with a slight lean in a game with a lot of free throws and transition points.
