Marquette vs. Seton Hall CBB Prediction:
Marquette has been one of the best teams against the number since the beginning of the 2022 season. The Golden Eagles are 29-19-2 ATS since the start of last season and they are 6-3 ATS as a road favorite in that same stretch. Both of those factors work in their favor for this contest.
Seton Hall is coming off of a big road win over Providence on Wednesday. The Pirates were 5.5-point underdogs in that game but wound up winning outright 61-57. I think Seton Hall’s recent win is why this line is trending a bit low, and I think the Pirates are due for a letdown in this spot. I’m laying the points with Marquette in this one.
