Seton Hall vs NJIT Prediction
The Seton Hall Pirates could blow the doors off given the talent gap, but we also just saw them lose to Monmouth as 8 point favorites. This is also a look ahead spot for Seton Hall with Oklahoma State, Rutgers, and Villanova on deck. This is a big game for the NJIT Highlanders as they don’t get these looks often, and they shouldn’t be scared of the moment with constant road games under their belt. Better options out there, but give me NJIT and the points.
