Seton Hall at Georgetown picks and predictions
Prediction
Seton Hall 77, Georgetown 67
Moneyline
There is no value on Seton Hall (-425) as you would need to wager more than 4 times your potential return. PASS.
Against the spread
The road team in this series has won 4 in a row ATS.
Georgetown and Seton Hall had a couple of close games last year — amid the Hoyas going 0-19 in the Big East — so expect coach Shaheen Holloway to have his team’s attention in this midweek road clash.
The Pirates have played an exceptionally tough slate and figure to be underrated by their won-loss record and surface stats.
TAKE SETON HALL -8.5 (-115).
Over/Under
There is some Under lean to Georgetown and some Over lean to the Pirates. Split the difference and walk on by. PASS.
