Hampton vs Duquesne Prediction
The Duquesne Dukes are the better team and should be favored, but they're also 0-5 ATS on the season, and we've seen them lose twice this season as the favorite. Duquesne has had issues stringing together defense and I doubt things improve at the end of a back-to-back and with an early weird start. The Hampton Pirates have covered 3 of their last 4 games, and that's with shooting the ball poorly. I'll take a stab with Hampton and the points in this early Monday contest.
