Monmouth is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 2-14 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing Charleston here. Monmouth’s been an absolute disaster this season and they’ve been getting blown out left and right this season. This is a big number to give up anywhere, even with a road team, but we’ve seen nothing from Monmouth against lesser opponents to suggest that they’ll be able to keep themselves in this game. Give me Charleston in a rout.
