We like the Hampton Pirates to defeat the North Carolina A&T Aggies on Monday at 9:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Hampton isn't playing its best ball right now, but is still 9-9 this season which is much better than the team its up against today.

The Pirates are 10-2 versus the spread over their L12 games this year.

They are also 6-2 against the spread over their L8 games played against NC A&T.

North Carolina A&T is 4-15 this season with a horrible 3-6 home record.

The Aggies are 1-8 against the spread over their L9 games played at their home gym.

They are also winless over five straight games this season.

We'll lay the points or ML with Hampton.
