Harvard vs St. John’s Prediction

In this Harvard vs St. John’s Prediction, St. John’s is coming as -25 home favorites. St. John’s has been the better team this season, as they have a better overall record and have been almost perfect at home. They are also coming into this matchup in far better form, as they are 3-1 in their last 4 games, while Harvard is 2-5 in its last 7 games and 1-5 against the spread in its last 6. St. John’s has failed to cover the spread in its last five games so I will rather not pick a side.

Take the under 144.5 points in this one.
