The Seton Hall Pirates have won five of their last six games will enter this contest with great confidence following an 84-83 overtime win over No. 9 Kentucky Wildcats on national television Dec. 8.

They're 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win and will face a Rutgers team off three straight defeats, the most recent a 78-70 loss as an 8-point favorite at Fordham. The Scarelet Knights have struggled on the defensive end lately, giving up an average of 75 ppg through their last four contests.

Seton Hall is averaging 73.8 ppg home at Prudential Center and I think the Pirates have too much firepower for the visitors to cope with.

10* play on Seton Hall.
