Vegas Play of the Day: Monmouth at Georgetown

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Monmouth (NJ) plus-9.5 at Georgetown: $440 to win $400

Monmouth is getting a big reputation thanks to its bench antics, but the Hawks are still doing work on the court, too, and I’m expecting at least a strong start to their next long road trip. That gets going tonight at Georgetown, and then it’s at Rutgers, Cornell and Army.

Monmouth started the year with eight straight games away from home, going 6-2 ATS. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS when they’re underdogs, and the only loss was by a half point, so until we see this entire fun early-season story crumble, I’m betting on Monmouth to keep the good times rolling. Because lost in the hype is a team with a decently efficient defense that doesn’t turn the ball over and kills it at the free-throw line.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (26-22, $10,045), Bern (17-26, 6,245), Keefer (20-33-2, $5,161)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (97-99-1), Keefer (103-116-4), Brewer (95-110-2)
