Prediction
St. John's 83, Creighton 80
Moneyline
BET ST. JOHN'S (+114).
You can call me a lunatic, but I see an upset coming in this one. The Bluejays are coming off of a huge win at home over the No. 1 team in the nation and hit the road to face a team that they should on paper beat convincingly. The Red Storm played them tough in their 1st matchup a little over a month ago. This has all the makings of a letdown game for Creighton. I'm going to take those plus odds and run with them.
Against the spread
PASS.
I'd rather take the plus-money bet than take the points and pay the juice on the spread.

Over/Under
PASS.
I had all intentions of taking the Over in this game until I saw the line came out over 150. Creighton has gone Over the total in 7 of their last 10 games but when you look closer, only 1 of those had a total posted above 150. That's just too much especially knowing that these 2 teams put up a total of just 131 in their 1st meeting last month.
