St John’s vs Providence Prediction

I am not betting against St John’s at home. St John’s is averaging 79.9 points and the yare going ot have no issue running up the score here. Providence’s offense hasn’t been awful but they are averaging a little over 71 points per game, and that type of offensive output isn’t going to be enough here. St John’s is going to run up the sccore here, and they are going to cruise here. Back St John’s against the spread.
