    Before making any Saint Peter's vs. North Carolina picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

    The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of over $1,300 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

    The model knows Saint Peter's is very strong on defense. The Peacocks rank in the top 25 of the country in adjusted defensive efficiency, and Saint Peter's contests shots at an elite level. Opponents are shooting only 29.3 percent from 3-point range and 44.3 percent from 2-point range against the Peacocks this season. Saint Peter's also creates a turnover on more than 20 percent of defensive possessions, and the Peacocks have a top-15 block rate in the country at 14.6 percent.

    The model also knows North Carolina is the more athletic and physically gifted team. The Tar Heels have a size advantage, and North Carolina is also strong on the perimeter, shooting 36.3 percent from three-point range. North Carolina ranks in the top 20 of the country in offensive efficiency, securing more than 30 percent of missed shots on the offensive glass. The Tar Heels also protect the ball well, committing a turnover on only 16.6 percent of offensive possessions.
