Stony Brook vs Monmouth Prediction

I’m on Monmouth here. I get the case to be made for a home dog in a lot of spots, but the problem for Stony Brook here is that this year’s version of the Seawolves are not the same version that was an ATS machine last season. The Seawolves struggle defensively and while both teams have issues on the offensive end of the floor, I feel like Monmouth’s defense has more upside so I’ll roll with them here. Give me Monmouth laying the points on the road in this one.
