Am I missing something here???? A (12-5) team only -2.5 to a (4-11) team @ home???? Anyone know why this line is this way? To me it looks too good to be true.
Columbia -2.5????????? HUH?????

Let me preface by saying Im on Columbia. That said My power numbers only favor them by a few. You have to be careful when you look at teams records in matchups in the IVY. They usually have such different non conference schedules. Yale has played a tougher schedule non conference and I think the line is about right. When the teams play at Yale I think Yale will be favorite and I expect the season series to be split.

to me this line just stinks of something, i'm talking stink like a bag of catfish heads that have been sitting in the sun all day.
I agree with TJ Im not betting it but if i was...Id take the shitty team.
Better games to play guys....Shitload tomorrow.
Better games to play guys....Shitload tomorrow.
Yale has totally DOMINATED this series recently...that's definetly playing a factor, but the line is a bit low for a team who's 12-1 ATS at home L/13 games. I'm on Columbia and biting the bullet.....GL!
FWIW I'm too on Columbia. Going with the better defensive team here. Just play it for small change, thats all.
If it sounds too good to be true....it probably is!! I learned my lesson on the Greensboro/Elon game, I'm taking Yale. What a tough schedule Yale has played, including a minimal 2 point defeat at Boston College on 12/19!
Good luck to all!
Good luck to all!
