The Georgetown University Hoyas are a complete mess right now, as their offense has gone cold and even coach Ewing called them out recently. The St. John’s Red Storm are the better team and should be favored at home. However, let’s not act like the Red Storm are world beaters, as they’ve been hit or miss all season, and they find themselves in a lot of close games. This line is crazy steep, especially considering the Red Storm don’t cover numbers. Give me the Hoyas.
