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.

Against the spread

LEAN DEPAUL +11.5 (-110).

These are 2 teams that are both terrible ATS. Seton Hall, despite being a solid team, tend to play down to their level of competition. They are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games vs. teams with a losing record and 3-13 ATS in the same span vs. teams with less than .400 road records.

DePaul is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and is 1-6 in their last 7 games vs. teams with a record of .600 or better. DePaul is only the safer bet here because the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups and the road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 138.5 (-110).

For Seton Hall the Under is clearly the much safer bet. The Under is 6-1 in the Pirates’ last 7 overall. Seton Hall is also very consistent with the Under when playing against mediocre teams teams. The Under is 4-0 in their last 4 vs. teams with a losing record and 6-1 in their last 7 vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, per covers. com.

Seton Hall at St. John’s picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 73, St. John’s 65

Moneyline

SETON HALL (+100) is a solid play at even money. It blasted St. John’s on NYE and is playing much better basketball lately.

The Pirates have struggled on offense all season, but defensively they’re very dangerous, and that’s not what the Red Storm need right now.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

SETON HALL +1.5 (-115) is only worth playing if you’re dead-set on the idea that St. John’s is going to win this game by 1 point. If that’s not your intention, then play the Pirates straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 143.5 (-115) is the best play on the board in this Big East battle.

Seton Hall locks it down defensively, allowing just 63.7 points per game (42nd) and limiting teams to just 40.4% from the field (40th). The Pirates have also held the opposition to just 29.0% from downtown, which is 13th in the nation against the trey.

The Under is 6-1 in Seton Hall’s past 7 against winning teams while going 17-6-1 in its last 24 road games. The Under is also 5-0 in the past 5 against winning teams for St. John’s, while going 6-1 in the past 7 at home.

Marquette at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 74, Marquette 72

Moneyline

PASS.

While the moneyline may seem like a better value, the Pirates are 1.5-point underdogs and just beat UConn at home by 1. Their last 2 games have ended within 5 points.

Take the points on the spread instead of the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET SETON HALL +2.5 (-115).

Seton Hall has been incredible at home this season. It is 7-2 ATS as the home side. Seton Hall is 5-3-1 ATS in conference games as well.

While Marquette is also strong ATS in most aspects, it is 4-2 ATS on the road. Marquette’s defense ranks 256th in opponents’ field goal percentage (44.5%). That weakness will be abused by the Pirates, a team that struggles offensively.

With the Golden Eagles just 3-3 straight up on the road and the Pirates 8-2 straight up at home and this basically a pick ’em – back SETON HALL +2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 143.5 (-110).

This will be a clash of strengths. Seton Hall is great defensively while Marquette is great offensively.

The battle should be won by the offenses with the Golden Eagles 12-7-1 O/U this season. Marquette has gone Over in 4 of its last 5. Seton Hall has scored at least 70 in 3 of its last 6.

This game went Over a 141 projected total in a 83-69 win for Marquette at home. Expect a similar battle in terms of offensive efficiency and ultimately the OVER 143.5 (-105) to be the better play.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Pirates have racked up 3 straight victories, and a 4th consecutive win would be a season-best. The Under has cashed in each of the previous 3 outings for Seton Hall.

UConn at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 72, UConn 69

Moneyline

SETON HALL (+170) is worth playing at home as a moderate underdog, striking while the iron is hot against an ice-cold Connecticut side.

The Huskies are 1-4 SU in the past 5 games overall, including losses in each of their last 3 road outings.

Against the spread

SETON HALL +4.5 (-105) is a decent play catching the points if you can’t stand the idea of playing the Pirates straight up and you want some insurance.

UConn is 4-10 ATS in the past 14 road games while going 1-5 ATS in the past 6 against winning teams.

While the favorite is 5-2 ATS in the past 7 in this series, you have to roll with the hotter team, and that’s the Pirates.

Over/Under

OVER 135.5 (-110) is the lean in this Big East battle — but go lightly.

The Over has hit in 5 of the past 7 games overall for the Huskies and is 6-2-1 in the past 9 for the Pirates against teams with a winning percentage over .600.

Seton Hall at Georgetown odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seton Hall at Georgetown odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seton Hall Pirates (9-8, 2-4 Big East) and Georgetown Hoyas (5-12, 0-6) clash Tuesday night at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Start time is slated for 8:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. Georgetown odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Seton Hall — winners of 3 in a row over Georgetown — heads into this contest off a monster 76-51 win over Butler Saturday, covering as a 4-point favorite. The Pirates outshot the Bulldogs 52.7% to 26.8%. Their defense ranks well in several defensive analytic measures as they’ve held foes under 30% four times this season.

The Hoyas are 0-25 in Big East play over the past 2 seasons. This year’s squad has lost 7 straight games and 9 of its last 10 (2-8 against the spread). Three-point shooting has been a particular issue in the 7-game skid. Georgetown is 30.6% from distance over that span.

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.

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seton Hall at Creighton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seton Hall Pirates (8-7, 1-3 Big East) meet the Creighton Bluejays (8-6, 2-1) Tuesdayat CHI Health Center Omaha. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. Creighton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Bluejays were in freefall from Nov. 23 to Dec.16, losing 6 straight games after opening the season 6-0 with a ranking in the Coaches Poll. After losing the conference opener at Marquette, Creighton has rebounded with back-to-back wins against Butler (78-56, Dec. 22) and DePaul (80-65, Dec. 25) to snap back on track.

Seton Hall at Creighton picks and predictions

Prediction

Creighton 68, Seton Hall 66

Moneyline

There was no moneyline at the time of publishing, but it wouldn’t be worth pursuing anyway.

PASS.

Against the spread

SETON HALL +8.5 (-105) is worth a look catching more than 4 buckets.

The Pirates have cashed in 8 of the past 11 games on the road while going 7-3 ATS in the past 10 on the road against teams with a winning home record.

Creighton has covered just once in the past 6 games overall. Look to the Pirates to keep the Bluejays down, at least against the number.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-115) is a strong play.

The Under is 14-5-1 in the past 20 games on the road for Seton Hall, while cashing at a 4-1 clip in the past 5 games against teams with a winning record.

The Under is 21-10-1 in the past 32 home games for Creighton while going 5-2-1 in the past 8 games overall. The Under is also 4-1 in the past 5 against teams with an overall winning record.

Seton Hall at Marquette odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Seton Hall at Marquette odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seton Hall Pirates (7-6, 0-2 Big East) and Marquette Golden Eagles (9-4, 1-1) tangle Tuesday in Milwaukee. Opening tip at Fiserv Forum is at 8 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall VS. Marquette odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Seton Hall lost at Xavier 73-70 in its last game on Dec. 20. The +8 Pirates were a winner against the spread and are 3-1 ATS (with a half-point loss) in their last 4 games. SHU is 2-2 straight-up in those 4. The Pirates excel in getting to the free-throw line (FT frequency 6th NCAA-I per KenPom), and their 62.4 points per game allowed rank 2nd in the Big East.

The Golden Eagles also had their last game on Dec. 20, losing a 103-98 overtime contest against Providence. G Tyler Kolek (29 points) and G Kameron Jones (24P) combined to score 53P in that game. The 25th-highest scoring team in the nation (82.4 PPG) has scored 90-plus 5 times this season.

Seton Hall at Marquette picks and predictions

Prediction

Marquette 72, Seton Hall 66

Moneyline

PASS. Simply not playable at this line.

Against the spread

Against the number, Marquette has won the last 3 meetings; Seton Hall took 6 in a row before that.

The host Eagles figure to have a big edge in the turnover department. The Pirates have been loose with the ball overall, but a tad better with the handles of late. Marquette is the better offensive team, but Seton Hall should be able to avoid runs with solid rebounding and an ability to chop up the game by getting to the foul line.

That free-throw frequency, mixed with perimeter defense (27.5% defense on 3s) figure to keep the Pirates within 6-9 points at the end. The spread is a respectable one: PASS.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 4 straight SHU-MU match-ups, and that’s the lean in this game.

The Under is 4-1 in the Pirates’ last 5 vs. winning teams. And the Under is 4-0 in Marquette’s last 4 against winning teams.

The pace figures to be mid-to-fast, but a lot of 3s and 2nd-chance points would be a bit of a surprise. With both teams coming off a 6-day rest interval and locked into the tighter environs of conference play, the underside of this total has a solid probability.

BACK THE UNDER 141.5 (-105).

Drexel at Seton Hall odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Drexel at Seton Hall odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Drexel Dragons (5-5) and Seton Hall Pirates (6-4) clash in a non-conference game Wednesday. The opening tip at Prudential Center in Newark will be at 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Drexel vs. Seton Hall odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Drexel returns to action after a 65-58 overtime win over La Salle Saturday. The 3-point underdog Dragons rode a strong defensive effort and a few extra looks at the free-throw line to prevail despite shooting 34.2% from the floor. Drexel has held opponents under 60 points 5 times this season.

The Pirates lost 3 straight games from Nov. 25-Dec. 1, but they have rallied to win back-to-back games. A Seton Hall defense ranked 39th in NCAA-I (61.8 points per game) allowed a combined 98 points — alongside a 35% success rate from the floor — over those 2 wins.

Drexel at Seton Hall picks and predictions

Prediction

Seton Hall 68, Drexel 55

Moneyline

Seton Hall (-1200) is probably the right side, but there’s no value in this line.

PASS.

Against the spread

Drexel takes care of the basketball. Its 15.9% turnover rate is 27th in the nation. The Dragons also don’t typically yield a lot of free-throw chances. In this game that flies into a major strength for a Seton Hall squad that gets to the line at a top-10 rate.

In a slow-tempo game, figure the more talented Pirates just as likely to grind out a 9 or 10-point win as run the final advantage to 18. The middle ground is where we are playing. The ground is safe enough, but a +15 or higher offers solid value.

At the current price, consider a partial-unit play on DREXEL +14.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Under is 6-1 in Drexel’s last 7 games following a straight-up win, and it’s 5-1 in the Dragons’ last 6 road games. The Under is also 12-4 in Seton Hall’s last 16 home games.

Drexel is a slowest-15% team, and the Under is 6-3 across 9 lined games so far. It does well to avoid turnovers and giving opponents a lot of looks from the foul line. The Dragons have a bit of size, too, and are often able to force opposing fives into perhaps more shots from distance than they’d rather take.

Against slow-down foes like Drexel (recent comps are Rutgers, Oklahoma, Wagner and Saint Peter’s), the Pirates have seen the Under hit 3 times in 4 games.

BACK THE UNDER 128.5 (-115) in this one.

Seton Hall at Rutgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Seton Hall at Rutgers odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seton Hall Pirates (5-4) visit Jersey Mike’s Arena Sunday to battle the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (6-3). Tip for this non-conference contest is set for 6:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. Rutgers odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rutgers returns home after a heartbreaking, 67-66 loss at the buzzer to No. 23 Ohio State Thursday. It did cover as 5.5-point underdog though, pushing its against- the-spread (ATS) record to 6-3.

Rutgers has covered 4 of its last 5 games. The Scarlet Knights defeated then-No. 8 Indiana 63-48 Dec. 3 in their last home game and are a perfect 6-0 at The RAC this season.

Seton Hall, on the other hand, is 0-1 on the road and 4-4 ATS. It is just 1-3 in non-home games. The Pirates took down Division-II Lincoln (PA) 82-55 Wednesday. Prior to that, they were no match for then-No. 9, now-No. 6 Kansas in a 91-65 loss in Lawrence Dec. 1.

Seton Hall at Rutgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rutgers 70, Seton Hall 57

Moneyline

PASS.

Seton Hall’s offense isn’t good enough to win this game, and the +250 moneyline value indicates that as well. Given it has struggled away from home, the Pirates as underdogs don’t have much value, and neither does betting a -350 home favorite.

Against the spread

BET RUTGERS -7.5 (-110).

Seton Hall’s offense is bad. It ranks 204th in points per game and shoots just 43.9% from the field and 32.1% from deep. The Pirates have survived so far based on their defensive aptitude, but that’s also where the Scarlet Knights thrive.

Rutgers sits 2nd in college basketball in opponents’ 3-point shooting and 10th in opponents’ shooting. The Scarlet Knights are 6-3 ATS, having covered 2 in a row, both against Top-25 opponents (Indiana and Ohio State).

Considering Seton Hall was blasted by its best opponent in Kansas, back RUTGERS -7.5 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 131.5 (-115).

Both teams play defense at a high level, and neither are overly competent offensively. Rutgers is 3-6 O/U this season, while Seton Hall is 4-4 O/U. The Scarlet Knights have gone Under in 3 straight games and in 4 of their last 5.

In the Pirates’ lone road game, they gave up 91 points but scored just 65. While the Over hit in that one, Rutgers won’t have the same caliber offense and also thrives defensively.

Considering the strength of both teams, back the UNDER 131.5 (-115).

Seton Hall at Kansas odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Seton Hall at Kansas odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seton Hall Pirates (4-3) and the No. 9 Kansas Jayhawks (7-1) meet Thursday at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Seton Hall vs. Kansas odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Pirates have lost their last 2 games after opening 4-1 straight up and against the spread (ATS). Seton Hall does have a 70-69 win over Memphis on a neutral floor, but it lost Sunday against Siena 60-55 as a 14.5-point favorite after a 77-64 setback against Oklahoma prior to that.

The Jayhawks rolled up an 87-55 win against Texas Southern last time out on Nov. 28, bouncing back after a neutral-site 64-50 loss against Tennessee. Kansas covered (-25.5) against the TSU Tigers, a rare cover after going 1-6 ATS in the first 7 games. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 games overall.

Seton Hall at Kansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas 72, Seton Hall 61

Moneyline

There was no money line available at the time of publishing.

Against the spread

KANSAS -8.5 (-110) is a little bit risky given the fact it is 2-6 ATS in the 1st 8 games this season. The offense has been a little bit shaky, but the defense is strong. The Jayhawks are the play, though, as Seton Hall +8.5 (-110) has dropped 2 in a row.

Even worse, the Pirates could be without the team’s second-leading scorer, Dre Davis, who is questionable with a knee injury. Davis is averaging 11.4 PPG, while shooting 45.7% from the field and 91.7% at the free-throw line. If he doesn’t play, that would be a gigantic loss for the Pirates.

Over/Under

UNDER 136.5 (-115) is the best play on the board.

The Under is 18-6 in Seton Hall’s last 24 games dating back to last season, while going 13-3 in the last 16 games on the road.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 games at home for Kansas, but it is allowing just 65.5 PPG, and Seton Hall will have difficulty negotiating that defense, especially if Davis is on the shelf.
