St. John's @ Butler picks

The St. John’s Red Storm are coming off a huge victory over UConn. Rick Pitino has stated he may need to rest Kadary Richmond, and R.J. Luis is nursing a groin injury that could further slow St. John’s offense. Missing those two could give the Butler Bulldogs a puncher’s chance to win, but I’m betting on them to cover that number. Butler has won four of five at home and covered the -11.5 spread in January. I’m betting on the Bulldogs offense to cover the spread.
