St. John’s at Seton Hall odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Seton Hall 72, St. John’s 66
Money line
PASS on the money line.
Big East basketball with two competent teams makes laying the price tag on the home favorite simply not worth it. Similarly, betting a road underdog that’s the inferior side doesn’t make much sense.
Against the spread
“LEAN” to ST. JOHN’S +7.5 (-115).
While they failed to cover at home a couple of days ago, it’s tough to win against the same team twice and we’re just asking them to hang close with the Pirates in this scenario.
Seton Hall has played 7 conference games in a row and only one has been more than a 7-point difference — a 15-point Pirates road victory against Butler. They’re just 2-5 ATS over their last seven games.
While the Pirates managed just 60 points on Saturday, they’re averaging 75.3 points per game in conference play. They’ll get back on track Monday and that should help keep this game competitive.
Over/Under
BET on the UNDER 150.5 (-107).
While St. John’s may score at a high rate, they were struggling offensively against Seton Hall Saturday.
Seton Hall has allowed opponents to shoot just 30.1% from deep on the season and its opponents average 66.7 points per game. Even in Big East play, where it hasn’t been great, it’s giving up just 73.6 points per game while scoring 74.7 points per game.
Seton Hall is just 7-9 O/U this season. While St. John’s is 9-8 O/U on the season, it’s just 3-3 O/U in Big East action.
Considering the recent meeting between these sides wasn’t even close to the Over, I’d rather bank on the Seton Hall defense coming to play at home.
