St. Louis made it to the finals of the CBI Tournament last year and have a lot of pieces returning, despite the suspension of two expected key contributors. Austin Peay will be competitive in the relatively weak OVC, but stepping out on the road in a hostile environment until early December doesn't foretell a great start. The Governors have proven just that as they are 18-42-6 ATS in their last 66 non conference games while the Billikens have never failed to cover vs an OVC opponent in four tries. There is a huge talent differential here and, with homecourt tossed in, this should be a double-digit line. I'll play the value here and take St. Louis.
