Monk Makes His Predictions on the 2016 CMA Awards
Nominees for the 2016 CMA Awards were revealed this morning and now it's time to make a few predictions on who I think SHOULD WIN and WILL WIN.
Personally, I tend to always root for the underdog. What I want to do here is give you two predictions. The first is who I think WILL WIN and the second is who I think SHOULD WIN.
The 2016 CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on ABC on Nov. 2 at 8PM ET. Brad Paisley and Underwood will again return as co-hosts.
