Before making any DePaul vs. St. John's 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 six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated more than $1,400 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns. 

The model knows St. John's senior center Joel Soriano is a powerhouse down low. Soriano has been dominant on the glass and creates plenty of second-chance opportunities. The New York native has a soft touch around the rim and is efficient on the floor. Soriano averages 14.3 points, 1.2 blocks, and is shooting 61% from the field. He's also third in the nation in rebounds (12.3). 

The model also knows DePaul senior forward Javan Johnson is a space-creating scoring threat. Johnson can get a bucket at all three levels with a reliable jumper from downtown. The Alabama native has been able to consistently beat his man off the dribble and get into the lane. Johnson leads the team in points (18.4) while shooting 42% from beyond the arc. He's scored 27-plus in back-to-back games. 

Now, the model has set its sights on DePaul vs. St. John's. It is leaning Under on the total and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
