Central Connecticut Blue Devils vs. Seton Hall Pirates Prediction

I’m on the Blue Devils and the points. Central Connecticut’s been really solid in the underdog role this season, already picking up a couple of wins over power conference fores and this could be a bit of a sleepy spot for Seton Hall off of the Maui tournament. I think the Blue Devils put up some semblance of a fight here and keep this one respectable. Give me CCSU and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Central Connecticut +16.5
