Butler Bulldogs vs Seton Hall Pirates prediction
The Butler Bulldogs aren’t getting any love from bettors in this spot, as the line has moved away from them since the opener. I’m following the public in this spot as well. The Butler Bulldogs continue to run hot and cold, they haven’t been great on the road, and they lost to Seton Hall at home last month. The Seton Hall Pirates are playing some of their best ball of the season right now, and they’re 11-3 SU at home this season. It just feels like two teams heading in different directions as March approaches. I’ll lay the points with the Pirates at home.
