At 1:00pm ET, my Early Riser is on Iona. The Gaels could easily be laying a few points here. Not having to worry about covering a point-spread makes them excellent value. St. Peter's won both games last season and that led to a 12-8 MAAC record compared to a 10-10 mark for Iona. With an upgrade in talent, the Gaels are projected to be the better team this year. That starts with defending their home floor this afternoon. Prior to last year, the Gaels had swept the Peacocks in consecutive seasons. Play on Iona.
