Columbia is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The under is 4-1 in Columbia’s last 5 games.

The underdog is 4-0-1 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.

Columbia has been absolutely terrible this season and has lost each of their last five games by double-digits. Harvard is having a down year as well, but they have been much more competitive. I am taking Harvard at home even though the spread is pretty big.
