Prediction
DePaul 70, Seton Hall 63
Moneyline (ML)
There was no moneyline available at the time of publishing, probably because of the 1-point spread.
Against the Spread (ATS)
DEPAUL (+1, -110) is the play at home, mainly due to health. G Myles Powell (concussion) and F Sandro Mamukelashvili (wrist) are out for Seton Hall, and the Pirates can’t continue to tick off wins without two of their top scorers.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 137 (-110) is worth a small-unit play, as the Pirates will likely look to slow it down without Powell and Mamukelashvili in the conference opener on the road. The Under is 4-0 in the past four for SHU, and 5-2 in DePaul’s past seven against teams with a winning percentage of .600 or better.
New to sports betting? Every $1.10 wagered on the Under will profit $1 if the combined total score is 136 points or less.
