Man, we are ready for this week to be over. It was not our best stretch. We went 1-4 on Saturday and dropped 3.45 units. That puts us at 66-69 on the season and -7.63 units overall. Not ideal, but the only thing to do now is bounce back.

Searching for Redemption in Sunday’s Slate

Let’s turn the page and attack Sunday.

Princeton Tigers vs. St. Joseph’s Hawks

The Hawks are simply the stronger team here. They may not be elite, but they’re steadier and more complete than Princeton. Expect St. Joseph’s to control long stretches and finish with enough cushion to cover.

Betting Pick: St. Joseph’s Hawks -3 over Princeton Tigers

Final Score Prediction: St. Joseph’s 82–77 over Princeton

Yale Bulldogs vs. Vermont Catamounts

Yale has been on fire from deep, but Vermont’s style makes this tricky. The Catamounts slow things down more than most teams in the country, and that drag-out tempo should suppress possessions and scoring overall.

Betting Pick: Yale Bulldogs/Vermont Catamounts UNDER 152.5

Final Score Prediction: Yale 78–72 over Vermont

Belmont Bruins vs. Charleston Cougars

Charleston looked sharper with Connor Hickman back, but Belmont feels like the better, more stable team in this matchup. Expect a competitive game that tilts the Bruins’ way late.

Betting Pick: Belmont Bruins -160 over Charleston Cougars

Final Score Prediction: Belmont 75–73 over Charleston

St. Bonaventure Bonnies vs. Florida Atlantic Owls

This one should be fun. Both teams bring talent, but the Bonnies come in with an edge that makes the underdog price appealing. This game likely goes down to the final minute, and St. Bonaventure has real upset potential.

Betting Pick: St. Bonaventure Bonnies +164 over Florida Atlantic Owls

Final Score Prediction: St. Bonaventure 69–68 over Florida Atlantic

San Diego Toreros vs. Long Beach State 49ers

A west-coast clash with two offenses that can slog through long scoring droughts. Both teams play at a slower tempo, and that should produce a grind of a game that stays under the number.

Betting Pick: San Diego Toreros/Long Beach State 49ers UNDER 150.5

Final Score Prediction: San Diego 74–71 over Long Beach State
