Hofstra Dominates Early Season Games, Set to Cover Spread Against Seton Hall

In the first two games of the 2024 season, Hofstra secured victories with impressive scores of 89 and 90 points each, accumulating a point differential of 41. Their upcoming opponent has yet to exceed 60 points in a game, indicating a potential mismatch.
