The favorite is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

The St. John’s Red Storm have been on the losing side of all of their big games this season and continue to be one of the worst defensive teams in all of college basketball. The Xavier Musketeers are on the end of back-to-back losses, but they’re still an above-average offensive team that’s still covered five of their last six games. Xavier should have its way offensively in this contest. I have no choice but to lay the reasonable chalk with the Musketeers at home.
