Monmouth Hawks vs. Lafayette Leopards Prediction
I’m on Monmouth here. I think the Hawks are just the better team despite the loss to a bad Le Moyne team, as I think there are significant and visible flaws with this Lafayette offense. The Hawks are at least finding ways to put points up and more often than not are able to get past inferior competition, which I think Lafayette is. Give me Monmouth in this one.
