Harvard vs Holy Cross Prediction
The Harvard Crimson are simply the deeper, more talented team, and their hanging around with UMASS and St. John’s was enough to turn some heads despite the results. The Holy Cross Crusaders just don’t have the offensive horses to compete with even decent teams, and they’ve failed to cover their last three games. Holy Cross has scored a combined 96 points in its last two games. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy, and it’s quite clear which the better team is. Give me Harvard and a reasonable line.
