DePaul vs St. John’s Prediction

In this DePaul vs St. John’s Prediction, St. John’s is coming as -18 home favorites. Both teams have been very good this season with just three defeats so far, but DePaul has two more wins and has been red-hot lately, with a 6-1 record in its last 7 games. St. John’s has been almost perfect at home, so I see no value on either side. But taking a look at the total, both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, as they are 6-0 to the under in their last 6 games combined and they allow just 140.8 points per game combined defensively. I expect another low-scoring affair, so take the under 151.5 points in this one.
