Seton Hall Pirates vs Villanova Wildcats prediction
The Villanova Wildcats are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and they’ve owned Seton Hall over the years, which includes wins in each of the last 7 meetings. With all that said, this isn’t the same Villanova team from past years. Offense has been a struggle this season and the Wildcats are 12-11 ATS on the season with 4 losses at home. The Seton Hall Pirates have outright won 4 of their last 6 games as an underdog, and they’ve actually played some of their best ball lately on the road, which includes beating DePaul, Butler, Georgetown, and Providence away from home. I’ll take my chances with Seton Hall and the points.
