Saint Peter’s Peacocks vs Quinnipiac Bobcats Picks and Predictions – January 14, 2026
The Quinnipiac Bobcats host the Saint Peter’s Peacocks in a MAAC showdown on Wednesday night at M&T Bank Arena in Hamden, with tipoff scheduled for 7:00 PM ET. The Bobcats enter as 8-point home favorites, looking to maintain their position near the top of the conference standings, while Saint Peter’s hopes to keep this one competitive behind its defense-first identity.
Saint Peter’s is 6–10 on the season and has struggled to find rhythm offensively, especially on the road. Quinnipiac, on the other hand, comes in with momentum and a more well-rounded offensive attack. With the spread set at -8.0, the question is whether the Peacocks can keep pace long enough to cover.

Saint Peter’s Peacocks Betting Form
The Saint Peter’s Peacocks continue to rely on gritty defense to stay competitive, but their offensive struggles are hard to ignore. They average under 65 points per game and shoot below 30% from three — a bad combination against teams that can score in bunches.
They slow games down and defend the paint well, which has helped them hang around in lower-scoring contests. But once they fall behind, their lack of perimeter shooting makes comebacks tough. They’re just 2–7 straight up on the road and have failed to cover in four of their last five away games.

Quinnipiac Bobcats Betting Form
The Quinnipiac Bobcats are trending upward. They’ve won six of their last eight and are averaging close to 78 points per game over that span. Their offense is well-balanced — capable of scoring inside and out — and they’ve protected home court well, going 6–2 in Hamden this season.
Defensively, they’re solid if unspectacular. They do enough to limit second chances and don’t foul often, which helps maintain leads when playing from ahead. They’ve also been solid ATS, covering four of their last six conference games, especially when facing teams with limited scoring options like Saint Peter’s.

Saint Peter’s Peacocks vs Quinnipiac Bobcats Predictions and Best Bets
The number feels spot on, but I lean Quinnipiac Bobcats -8.0. They have too many scoring options for Saint Peter’s to keep up unless they completely control tempo and keep it in the 60s. That’s tough to do on the road.
As for the total, which wasn’t posted in the original lines but often hovers in the mid-130s for Saint Peter’s games, I’d lean Under assuming Quinnipiac doesn’t run wild. But the best edge is with the side.
Best Bet: Quinnipiac Bobcats -8.0 (-110)
