The Fairfield Stags were the better team this season, and they beat Saint Peter’s in both games. Fairfield has won four of the last five games against Saint Peter’s overall. So, I’m going to assume the Stags are going to be favored here. With that said, the Saint Peter’s Peacocks are a respectable team with a good defense and can make things ugly. Saint Peter’s is also now 21-11 ATS on the season when you throw in two conference tournament games. It’s not always pretty but the Saint Peter’s Peacocks make you money. Give me Saint Peter’s and all the points I can get.
