Line opened up at Xavier -4.5. Don't really understand the line here...Xavier is on a roll lately. Saint Louis has been playing better lately but I can't see them being able to keep up with X's scoring.
Thoughts?

St Louis only lost by eight last time against the X Files and that was when they were in disarray but not sure they can hang with the X Files

X is playing their best basketball of the season since losing to Cincy by 20. They are really looking good and Tu Holloway is one clutch mofo.

St Louis somehow plays well at home. Id be careful a line this low on an apparent mismatch appears to be a trap.

Pretty sure the muskies have been getting it done covering lately. I know they covered 17 the other night against Charlotte and on sunday @ Dayton which is a tough place to play.

St. Louis is schizo this year. I'd probably only take Xavier ML in a parlay with this one.

Xavier or no play. I'm not putting money on St. Louis.
Xavier beat a better team in Dayton at their place which is tougher to play in.
I don't think this is a trap game. Xavier by 8.

I don't think the line is all that fishy like some do. How much higher would you really expect ? St Louis has won 4 in a row now. The previous match up between the two teams was close (@ Xavier). Then finally Xavier just won by only 4 @ Dayton so seeing it at 4.5/5 now what more can they really lay ? 6 ?
I too am somewhat worried about Xavier being a bit too much offensively for StL. Look at even the Richmond game where StL played great (for their standards) yet they still lost by 12. That is with Richmond just playing a "normal" game too w/o going on any big runs either to speak of.

St Louis won by 18 at Dayton on Wednesday.
BTW St Louis only lost by 8 at Xavier earlier and they kept it in reach, they didnt score garbage time buckets(even though I dont think they had the lead the last 25 mins of game)
I may play ML but this is fishym STL plays well at home.
