Creighton is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall while the under is 20-8 in their last 28 road games. Seton Hall is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.

I’ve gone back and forth on this game as it truly is a coin flip and the line reflects that being so close to a pick ‘em. With that said, I think we have a battle brewing the whole way where both teams get into the high 70s as these are two of the more offensively proficient teams in the Big East and as such, I’ll take the over in this one.
