Northeastern vs Monmouth Prediction 

Northeastern comes into this matchup after picking up a win last time out, but they have lost three of their last four games. The Huskies are shooting 47% from the field and they have allowed 87+ points in three of their last four. Monmouth has lost two in a row and they have scored just 64 and 51 points in their last two. The Hawks are shooting 43% from the field, but they are the better defensive team. These two teams play two different styles, but I can’t trust this Northeastern defense. Take Monmouth to cover at home.
