DARTMOUTH+4 -106 over Columbia
7:00 PM EST. Columbia has won nine of their last 10, but seven of those 10 victories were in its own barn. Columbia’s sole defeat in this stretch came a Stony Brook, where the Lions were tamed by nine points. With their most recent 9-point win over Cornell on the road, early action has come in on the Lions who boast an impressive 13-6 record on the season while appearing far more delectable in comparison to Dartmouth’s 7-9 record overall. However, the Lions are just 3-4 on the road and this will be only their third game overall during the past 20 days.The Lions last four games have come against Maryland-Eastern Shore,Central Pennsylvania College and back-to-back games against a weak Cornell program. As a result of that weak slate, there are some skewed numbers to go with it.

To ofh’s wins came on its own court. Dartmouth now enters with a chance to take down one of the Ivy League’s better teams on the season in a robust rivalry series. Dartmouth has won four of its last five on their own floor and it owns wins over certainly formidable opponents such as Harvard and Canisius where the Big Green won those two fixtures by an average of 12 points. Darmouth’s sole defeat in that stretch was by a mere bucketto Bryant ina New Year’s Eve spectacle that saw the game tied at halftime and six total lead changes over the course of the game.This matinee was a melee but further showcased the tenacity Dartmouth plays with at home, even in defeat. With Columbia’s toils away from New York and Dartmouth riding heat at home all season, we wouldn’tbe surprised if an upset was in the works. Dartmouth has won the last two games in this series and did so by an average margin of 12½points.The Big Green have an edge on the boards, especially on the offensive end. In the end, Columbia's win expectation on the road is not higher than Dartmouth's win expectation at home in an evenly priced game.We're calling the upset but we'll take the academic approach and grabthe points. Pick: Dartmouth +5 -106 (Risking 2.12 units to win 2).
