Monmouth vs Florida International Prediction

The Florida International Panthers are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home against an FCS team, but FIU has been a low-level FBS team for years, and their struggling in a spot like this wouldn’t be surprising. The Florida International Panthers just lack the talent to blow teams out most weeks, and they’re 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a double-digit favorite. The Monmouth Hawks have a playmaker at quarterback who is off to a solid start, and things could get interesting if he stays hot. Give me Monmouth and the free touchdowns. FIU just isn’t good enough to be laying these sorts of numbers.
