The No. 8 St. John's Red Storm (21-3, 12-1 Big East) visit the Villanova Wildcats (14-10, 7-6) Wednesday at Finneran Pavilion. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET (FS1). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's college basketball odds around the St. John's vs. Villanovaodds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
The Red Storm won their 10th consecutive game in a 68-62 road win against 2-time defending national champ UConn on Friday as the Under (142) cashed. Not only have St. John's won 10 in a row, but it is an impressive 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 outings, and 7-2 ATS in the previous 9 contests.
The Under has cashed in 4 consecutive games for St. John's, while going 6-1 in the previous 7 contests since Jan. 14.
These teams met at Madison Square Garden Jan. 11, with the Johnnies posting an 80-68 win as 6.5-point favorites as the Over (146) just came in. The nation's leading scorer Eric Dixon (23.8) scored 18 points for the Wildcats, hitting 4 triples, but he was just 6-of-19 from the field.
Villanova has won back-to-back games at the DePaul Blue Demons and home to the Xavier Musketeers after a 3-game losing streak from Jan. 20-Feb. 1. 'Nova has covered the past 2 games, too, after a 6-game non-cover skid from Jan. 11-Feb. 1, which started with the loss to St. John's.

St. John's at Villanova picks and predictions
Prediction
St. John's 72, Villanova 65
ST. JOHN'S (-155) is worth a look as a moderate favorite if you're a little bit conservative, and you'd like to back the top-10 ranked Johnnies.
Villanova (+125) has dropped 3 in a row in this series, including last season's 81-71 setback at Finneran.
St. John's have 10 straight victories since ringing in the new year, last suffering a loss at the Creighton Bluejays on Dec. 31. Villanova is just 3-5 SU in the previous 8 outings.

ST. JOHN'S -3.5 (-105) is worth a look to get the job done by at least 2 buckets.
The Red Storm took care of business in the first meeting by 12 points, and they've won and covered the past 3 installments in this series.
While Villanova +3.5 (-115) has picked up the pace with a pair of wins and covers, topping bottom-tier teams Xavier and DePaul doesn't exactly indicate that the Wildcats are back.
UNDER 139.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Under has cashed in 2 of the past 3 outings for 'Nova, and 5 of the previous 9 contests. At home, the Under has a slight 2-1 edge in the past 3 at home, and 3-2 in the past 5 on its home floor.
For St. John's, the Under is on a 4-game run, while cashing in 6 of the past 7 outings, and 8 of the previous 11 contests. However, one of those Over results was the first meeting with 'Nova, so proceed with caution.
