3 Best St. John’s vs Villanova ATS, O/U Bets

1. St. John’s ATS (-3.5)

It’s tough to bet against the Red Storm, who are beating Big East teams with ease and the Wildcats could be next on the agenda.

St. John’s is 12-1 in conference play and comes off a stylish 68-62 road win over two-time defending national champion UConn. Beating a team such as UConn on the road is an excellent performance, which is why we’re locking in the college basketball odds for St. John’s.

That followed wins over Providence and Marquette, so handling the Wildcats shouldn’t be too hard. Bettors get a fair line from our BetUS sportsbook, and we priced the Red Storm around -4.5.

Bet St. John’s -3.5 vs Villanova

2. St. John’s vs Villanova Over 139.5

My college basketball expert picks have the St. John’s vs Villanova game going over 139.5 points. It should be a relatively high-scoring Big East game, especially with Villanova’s offense picking up recently.

The Wildcats scored 80 points when beating Xavier, and if they can keep up that level, the Red Storm offense is likely to improve as well.

Big East games aren’t often high-scoring, which is why the line is set at 139.5, but our final score prediction is 78-73, so we’re including the over in our NCAAB predictions.

Bet on St. John’s vs Villanova Over 147.5

3. St John’s First Half -1½ (-115)

A fast start is often crucial for college basketball games, and St John’s has been doing well in this area.

It’s why it leads the Big East, and there are times when Villanova struggles to find its rhythm early in the game, and St John’s could get to it early.

Bettors get value odds for the Red Storm to lead at halftime, and there is also good value in backing St John’s halftime/fulltime, which pays much better odds than what moneyline markets offer.

There is more risk, but backing St John’s to lead at halftime is a solid wager.

Bet St. John’s First Half -1½ (-115)
