The 2024-25 college basketball season continues with a lopsided matchup between the Omaha Mavericks and the St. John’s Red Storm. Omaha comes into this game undefeated against the spread (ATS) in their last five contests, while St. John’s has been strong at home. Let's dive into our Omaha vs St. John’s predictions, picks, and best bets using insights from Rithmm’s AI-powered model.
Omaha has been one of the best ATS teams in recent weeks, going 5-0 against the number. Their ability to stay competitive despite being underdogs has made them a profitable team for bettors. St. John’s, meanwhile, is coming off a stretch where they’ve gone 4-1 ATS, with a dominant home-court presence. The question: can Omaha cover another large spread on the road?
St. John’s is favored in this matchup, with the model predicting them to win by double digits. However, Omaha’s perfect ATS record recently suggests they can keep this game much closer than expected.

Before making Omaha vs St. John’s picks, it’s essential to look at recent trends:
These teams don’t have a recent head-to-head history, making it even more important to lean on model data and betting trends when making Omaha vs St. John’s picks.

Using Rithmm’s pre-built NCAAM model, we analyze team performance, pace of play, and scoring efficiency to determine the Omaha vs St. John’s best bets.
Rithmm’s model predicts St. John’s 80.6 – Omaha 66.2, but the model’s recommendation is Omaha +18.5 with a 64.6% win probability. This suggests Omaha can keep the game within the spread despite a likely St. John’s victory.

After reviewing the Omaha vs St. John’s predictions, trends, and Rithmm’s model insights, I’m backing Omaha to cover. Their recent ATS track record and the model’s confidence in a tight cover make them the right play.
Best Bet: Omaha +18.5 (-108)
