Seton Hall is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss and 49-24 ATS in their last 73 games as an underdog while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a loss. Cal is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite while the under is 20-6-1 in their last 27 Wednesday games.
Cal’s looked decent early on this season, but I’m still not willing to forget how bad this team has been in recent seasons and losing Matt Bradley sure won’t help Cal long term. Seton Hall is once again one of the more underrated teams in the country early on and I think their talent and size across the board will give Cal some trouble here. Give me Seton Hall laying the points.
