Providence vs Seton Hall Betting Prediction
This total is too high. Providence’s defense is giving up 65.7 points and their defense is going to step up in a big way here. The defense is ranked 45th, and I have all the confidence in the world here. I also expect their offense is going to try and slow down the pace a little bit, and that will lead to this game being lower scoring. Both offenses are going to struggle to score and this game is going to stay under the total.
