Auburn vs Monmouth Prediction 

Auburn comes into this matchup as one of the top teams in the country and they are scoring over 88 points per game. The Tigers are shooting 51.4% from the field and they play outstanding defense. Monmouth has lost two of their last three games and they are shooting just 38.3% from the field. This is a huge number to cover, but I feel like the only play is taking Auburn at home.
