St. John’s Red Storm vs Providence Friars Prediction, Odds & Picks

St. John’s Red Storm (9-2) travel to Rhode Island to take on the Providence Friars (7-5) in what promises to be an exciting Big East matchup. St. John’s has been electric this season, averaging 84.8 points per game with a strong offensive rating complemented by a top-30 defense. The Red Storm’s ability to control the boards and shoot effectively, both inside and outside the arc, has led to blowout wins against DePaul, Bryant and Kansas State. However, they have spent much of the season at home, and their 1-1 record against the spread (ATS) on the road suggests they have struggled to replicate their dominance in unfamiliar environments.

On the other hand, Providence enters the game with a more modest 7-5 record and is looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to St. Bonaventure. The Friars don’t dazzle statistically, but their controlled, deliberate style can frustrate high-tempo opponents like St. John’s. Expect Providence to slow the tempo and rely on half-court sets to stay within striking distance. History is on their side, as previous games in Providence have often leaned in their favor. While St. John’s has the firepower to pull off a road win, their inconsistency on the road and Providence’s tendency to grind out close games make the Friars a solid pick to cover the +6.5 spread.

St Johns vs Providence Prediction: Providence +6.5 (-110) available at time of release. Can be played to that number.
