Harvard Crimson at Cornell Big Red Prediction
The Crimson are undefeated straight up and against the spread in two Ivy League games with both coming against Dartmouth. Harvard has lost just once in their last 10 games and are on a six game point spread covering streak. Big Red is a poor 5-12 this season, but in all fairness I must note that their schedule arguably has been more challenging than the Crimson. Cornell however has registered just one win in a lined game. Harvard has a positive record on the road going 4-2 and they're 3-0-1 against the spread in the lined games covering the spread in three straight. I was hoping for a better line on this game, but i believe there is still value in playing the visitor.
