Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Seton Hall Pirates Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/13/25

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights will make the short trip to Newark on Saturday for a non-conference matchup against the Seton Hall Pirates. This game will be played at Seton Hall this season for the Garden State Hardwood Classic. The Pirates are 9-1 on the year and are a big favorite in this one. Seton Hall is an 11-point favorite here, but my best bet of the game is the under.

The total is set for just 131.5 points, and I believe the total will remain under that number. I like the under here because both teams play slow and do not have good offenses. According to KenPom, Seton Hall is ranked #299 in adjusted tempo and Rutgers is ranked #294. It should be a slow-paced game and neither offense is efficient enough for me to back the over. Rutgers offense is ranked #160 in adjusted offensive efficiency, #275 in effective field goal percentage and #321 in two-point percentage. Seton Hall’s offense is ranked #122 in adjusted offensive efficiency, #181 in effective field goal percentage and #210 in two-point percentage. I do not see either offense being good enough to carry the total over, especially against a Seton Hall defense that is ranked #13 nationally in adjusted efficiency. Take the under here.
