St. Johns vs. Seton Hall, 7PM ET (View Matchup)
The home team has covered the spread in 6 of their last 7 games and St. Johns is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games at Seton Hall. St. Johns is clearly the better team on paper, but oddsmakers must know something with this game because the spread is awfully low. St. Johns has played very well against top-level talent while struggling against lesser opponents. Because of that, my pick is with Seton Hall at home.
