Trends
Monmouth is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win by 20+ points while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall. Drexel is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games.
Pick
I’m leaning towards Monmouth here. The Hawks have played a lot more respectably down the stretch and managed to exact revenge on Drexel after the 32-point beatdown Drexel handed to Monmouth in the first meeting this season. The Dragons are solid, but they have a tendency to play down to lesser opposition and in a one-bid league like the CAA, it’s win by any means necessary, not worrying about style points. I think Monmouth makes this one ugly and tries to win any way they can so give me Monmouth ATS here.
