American vs. Colgate Prediction
I’m on Colgate here. The Raiders stumbled against Lafayette from a cover perspective last time out, but overall this season, the Raiders have been pretty much lights out in Patriot League play ATS. American has been up and down and have had some serious scoring issues in recent games. Give me Colgate laying the big number at home in this one.
