Monmouth vs Rutgers Prediction
The Monmouth Hawks haven’t had the easiest schedule in the world with three road games against decent competition, but they’ve also shown zero life on either side of the ball and haven’t failed to cover all three games. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have their most talented team in ages, and they’re off to a fine start at both ends of the floor. If Monmouth doesn’t find a spark offensively, this game is sure to get ugly. Big line, but I’m rolling with Rutgers to keep things moving on its home court.Â
