Two teams amid completely different streaks, collide tonight with the Charleston Cougars in New Jersey to play the Monmouth Hawks.
Let's start with Charleston, who has won 18 in a row after a loss in Chapel Hill. The winning streak has pushed their record to 19-1 and moved them up to #18 in the national rankings. The Cougars are a perfect 7-0 in CAA play.
Monmouth have lost their last nine and only have one win for the season. They are 1-17, and predictably, winless in conference play this season. Their only win this season came on the road; they are 0-6 at home.
These two teams couldn't be on more opposite paths. We'll see if their trajectories will continue, or if a monumental upset is on the cards tonight.

Charleston is beating teams that have beaten Monmouth by more than 20 points. Monmouth is having a season that should be erased from memory forever.
Unless the Cougars completely drop their guard, they should pound the Hawks tonight like the rest of the nation has been doing this season. It's a large spread, but Charleston should be able to cover it easily.
Prediction: Charleston -20.5 (-110)
