Villanova vs. Seton Hall odds: Picks from proven computer model that's 37-16 on college basketball
The Seton Hall Pirates clash with the top-ranked Villanova Wildcats in a noon ET contest Sunday. Villanova has opened as a 13-point favorite and now is laying 12.5. Before picking either side, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.
This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, completely crushed college basketball last season, producing a 755-636 record on its A-rated picks, returning a massive profit of $6,529 for any $100 player who followed them.
Last season's record was no fluke. The model is on a scorching 37-16 run on its top-rated college basketball picks -- a cash rate of 70 percent. Anybody who has been following these picks is up big.
Now, the computer has examined every matchup, every player and every trend for Seton Hall-Villanova and locked in a strong against-the-spread pick. In fact, it says one side hits well over 60 percent of the time.
We can tell you the model says Villanova's Jalen Brunson is projected to score 19 points. On the other side, Seton Hall's Khadeen Carrington will pace the Pirates with 14 points.
The model knows the Under has cashed in eight of the last 10 head-to-head meetings and the Over is 10-4 in Villanova's last 14 games.
It also knows the Pirates' best chance to stay within the spread -- or win outright -- is to make someone other than point guard sensation Brunson, who leads the Wildcats in scoring (19.4 points per game) and assists (4.9), beat them. Effective double-teams force the rock out of Brunson's hands and into a less reliable shooter such as Mikal Bridges or Donte DiVincenzo.
But the Wildcats can cover the spread by neutralizing Seton Hall's greatest three-point threat, Myles Powell, who is knocking down threes at a 41 percent clip.
So what side of Seton Hall-Villanova do you need to be all over? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Seton Hall vs. Villanova spread is hitting well over 60 percent of the time, all from the computer model that completely crushed college basketball last season.
