Seton Hall at Baylor picks and predictions
Prediction
Baylor 92, Seton Hall 78
Moneyline
You can go ahead and AVOID the moneyline in this game unless you believe Seton Hall pulls off the upset on the road. Backing Baylor at -750 odds isn't advised.
Against the spread
BAYLOR -11.5 (-110) is how I'd bet on the spread with the Bears looking like 1 of the most well-rounded teams in college basketball to begin the season. The Bears are 5-1-1 ATS overall and are 3-1 ATS at home.
Meanwhile, the Pirates have failed to cover the spread in 3 straight games (2 of which were on the road).

Over/Under
While Baylor boasts a formidable defense, OVER 147.5 (-115) is still an enticing wager in this matchup. The Bears average the 8th-most points (99.5) and the Pirates are tied for the 32nd-most points (88) per game this season.
Both of these teams are top 9 in effective field goal percentage, so shots should be falling often in this game. Seton Hall is 2-0 to the Over in its last 2 games overall, while Baylor is 4-1 to the Over in its last 5.
