Pick
I’m going to back Monmouth and the points here. Northeastern’s been struggling as of late, and while a lot of those games are coming against the top teams in the CAA this season, the reality is that the odd time that the Huskies are favored at home, they’re still not covering. Monmouth’s red hot right now seemingly out of nowhere, and as crazy as it is to say, against teams on the same level as Monmouth, like Northeastern, I’m not trying to step in front of the Hawks right now. Give me Monmouth and the points.
