DePaul at Seton Hall picks and predictions
Prediction
Seton Hall 68, DePaul 60
Moneyline
AVOID.
Seton Hall should be able to win this game pretty comfortably as they are obviously the better team. DePaul is also on a very cold streak and lost to Seton Hall already once on the season. The moneyline here is a bad bet because the risk is simply not worth the reward.
