Georgetown is just 4-10 ATS this season and has lost four games in a row, including Saturday's 85-76 loss in overtime against Butler. L.J. Peak led the Hoyas with 21 points, and Jagan Mosely added 20 points, but Georgetown came up short even while holding the Bulldogs to 39.1 percent shooting. St. John's had won three straight before losing to two tough opponents in Creighton and Xavier. The Red Storm couldn't overcome Xavier's 58.6 percent field goal percentage on Saturday even though Marcus LoVett poured in 32 points for St. John's. Georgetown has covered only two of its last nine home games, and St. John's has covered the spread four of its last five games as a road underdog. Also, the Hoyas are 0-5 ATS their last five conference games. Take the points and play St. John's.
