Monmouth Hawks vs Rider Broncs Free Pick January 29, 2018

The Rider Broncs sit in first place in the MAAC, but they haven’t really played like a first place team lately. While they have won four straight, all four of those games came against last place teams (St. Peters, Fairfield and Marist are all tied with a 2-7 conference record). All four of those wins came by four points or fewer, and only two of their eight conference wins come against teams with a winning record, and none of those were teams in the top four. Monmouth has had a far more challenging schedule, and four of their five losses in conference play have come against teams with a winning record. Three of those losses came in games decided by three points or less. The Hawks have also been without their leading scorer in four of their last nine games. Micah Seaborn played just 13 minutes on Saturday, scoring 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting. The junior guard is expected to be in the lineup for tonight’s game. Monmouth has won three straight at Rider, including a 74-69 win last February. The underdog has covered in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams, and I think the smart play is to take the points here tonight.

Take MONM.
