Yale comes into this game on a three game winning streak, while Harvard has alternated losses and wins over their last five games. Yale defeated Harvard by a score of 58-54 in their first meetings, but Harvard will be at home for this matchup. I think this will be an excellent game to watch, but I like Harvard at home with the points.
