Seton Hall vs St John's Prediction
The current betting odds have Seton Hall listed as a 0.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Seton Hall hasn't been great this season as they are only 13-9 overall and they haven't even been that good in their road games either with a 4-4 road record. They are starting to turn things around in the conference though as they are 6-5 and have been picking up a lot of wins in their games lately. St. John's has a better overall record as they are 14-8 this season but they are only 4-7 in the conference as they have really been struggling against Big East opponents. They managed to get a win in their last game against Georgetown but they barely won that game by a few points and against one of the worst teams in the conference. Seton Hall has been on a roll lately with a lot of wins and they are playing really well. The best way to place a bet here is on Seton Hall to cover the spread in this game.
