San Francisco at St. John's

It is never easy to take to the road in any sport, especially when you have to make the trip cross-country. It is even more difficult when the game is in an intimidating arena such as Madison Square Garden. San Francisco faces this daunting task tonight when they go up against St. John's. The Dons have had just one game this season vs. a BCS-level conference which resulted in an 18-point loss to Oregon. St. John's owns a win vs. Georgia Tech, and suffered their first home loss vs. a powerful Syracuse team by just 5 points, and will be ready to get back in the win column tonight. The Red Storm has bounced back strong after a setback where they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10, and will bring all the weapons to the fight tonight Regarding the total in this game, I think it is posted too high. St. John's has topped the 75 point mark just one time all season without the benefit of overtime. The line and the total suggests they will get over 80 here. The Dons have scored well all season, but this is a step up in class, and their last five vs. the Big East has produced four UNDER the total. St. John's has been strong on the defensive end, and are 9-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 13. Lay the points and take St. John's and the UNDER.
