What’s at stake

North Carolina A&T

  • A win would be one of North Carolina A&T’s biggest of the season — a 100-spot gap in the power ratings.

Monmouth

  • Monmouth controls first place in Coastal Athletic with 1 game left.
  • Monmouth is the program Kevin Callahan built from nothing over 33 years into a 197-win institution — and 2025 was his last season, leaving the Hawks to carry a legend's legacy into an uncertain new era.

Home field

Monmouth is worth +1.7 points (±11.9) more at home than on the road since 2018 — bottom third of FBS, 13th percentile.

0% at home, 10% on the road against FBS opponents (0-2 home, 1-9 away).

Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads +1.9 at home vs. away over 53 games — inside the ±9.9 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.

The visitors travel about 426 miles to get here.
