The current betting odds have Seton Hall listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Seton Hall has a 15-9 record overall this season and they have been making some waves under their new head coach as they are starting to get hot now. They are 8-5 in their conference games and have been great at home with their 9-3 home record, but they have also won 3 games in a row now entering this one on their home court with a lot of momentum. Creighton has also been really good this year as they are 15-8 overall and they have been getting really hot against Big East opponents with their 9-3 conference record now, making them one of the better teams in the conference this year. They also enter this game with a lot of momentum as they have won 6 games in a row now but they haven't been a good road team this year with their 2-4 road record and a lot of their wins on this run came at home with only 2 road games against 2 of the worst teams in the Big East. Seton Hall has their own momentum now with 3 wins in a row and they are slowly getting better in every game they play under their new head coach this season. The best way to place a bet here is on Seton Hall to cover the spread in this game.
