The St. Peters Peacocks will face the Fairfield Stags in the first round of the MAAC tournament on Saturday. The Stags finished the season in a last place tie with Marist, and I don't like Fairfield's chances against a tough opponent tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - St. Peters lost at Fairfield in the most recent meeting, but had won four straight prior to that. This being a neutral site game seems to favor the Peacocks who are asked to cover just a handful of points.

2. Desi Washington - The Peacocks guard scored 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting in a 68-60 win over Iona on Sunday. He scored 20 points in a loss at Marist on Friday, and we should expect him to be a factor here tonight for St. Peters.

3. X-Factor - The Stags are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games.

Selection: This is a play on the St. Peters Peacocks(10*)
