Seton Hall vs Butler Prediction

The Seton Hall Pirates aren’t getting any love from oddsmakers when they’ve lost nine of their last 10 games and haven’t won a game since January 8. Seton Hall is banged up, and scoring during this losing stretch has been a chore. However, let’s not act like Butler is lighting the world on fire as the Bulldogs have lost eight of their last 10 games, and they have yet to win on the road this season. Seton Hall also hung around with Butler last month, losing by just five points and covering the line of six points. Injuries and low confidence aside, this is a winnable game for Seton Hall. I’ll grab the points with the Pirates.
