Seton Hall Pirates vs Providence Friars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/19/25

The Seton Hall Pirates and the Providence Friars will face off on Friday night for a Big East matchup. Providence is already 0-1 in league play, as the Friars lost their first game to Butler on Saturday. That game went to double overtime and snapped their three-game winning streak. Seton Hall has fared better than expected so far this season and sports just one loss thus far. The Pirates lost to USC by two points in the Maui Invitational semifinals and have won 4 games straight since. I see Seton Hall playing well on the road and covering the short spread here.

The spread is currently set at Seton Hall +2.5 and that seems like too much for a team that has just one loss this year. The Pirates defense has been one of the best in the country this season and that should be the difference. They rank #5 nationally in opposing points per game at 61.6. According to KenPom, Seton Hall’s defense is #4 in turnover percentage, #5 in two-point percentage and #13 in adjusted efficiency. Providence has a good offense that ranks 34th at KenPom, but I do not see the Friars being good enough to cover the spread here. Take Seton Hall to cover.
