Bet on Seton Hall vs. Texas Tech
Texas Tech won the last meeting with Seton Hall back in 2010. However, Texas Tech is just 6-16 against the spread in its last 22 games at a neutral site and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games against Big East opponents. The Red Raiders have a tough job of going to MSG to face the Pirates, a team that has plenty of experience in this venue. The public betting is slightly with Texas Tech, but I think Seton Hall finds a way to cover.
