The Saint Peter’s Peacocks are the better team here and should be favored, but they don’t have the offense to open games up. All of Saint Peter’s wins have come down to the wire, and it hasn’t had much covering success. The Canisius Golden Griffins don’t play much defense, but they’ve had some of their best success as of late and actually have a positive point differential in their last five games. Too many points here. Give me the road dog.
