Creighton at Seton Hall picks and predictions
Prediction
Creighton 67, Seton Hall 64
Moneyline
AVOID.
Unless you’re confident that Seton Hall can secure a win at home, taking the moneyline in this game isn’t advised. The Pirates are 9-3 at home compared to the Bluejays being 2-4 on the road, so wagering on Creighton (-190) at the current odds is risky.

Against the spread
SETON HALL +3.5 (-105) is how I’d wager on the spread as it wouldn’t surprise me if the Pirates come away with a win. The Pirates have played much better at home and they have the defense to slow down the Bluejays on offense.
Creighton is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road games. Meanwhile, the home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings between these 2 Big East programs.
Over/Under
With how well these teams can play on the defensive end, UNDER 135.5 (-110) is the lean. While Creighton is averaging a solid 76.8 points per game (63rd in the nation), Seton Hall allows only 64 points per game (41st in the nation) and allows opposing teams to convert only 29.4% of its 3-point shots (17th in the nation).
The Bluejays have gone Under in 5 of their last 6 games, while the Pirates are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 home games.
