Monmouth vs Towson Prediction
In this Monmouth vs Towson Prediction, Towson is coming as -8.5 home favorites. Towson has been the better team this season and have been undefeated at home, while Monmouth has been terrible on the road with just one win in six road games. Both teams have been in poor form lately, as they are 2-3 and 1-4 in their last 5 games and 1-3 and 1-4 against the spread in their last 4 and 5 games respectively, so I see no value on either side. They have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, as they are 7-1 to the under in their last 8 games combined, so I expect another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 136.5 points.
