Penn vs Dartmouth Prediction
The Penn Quakers have lost eight of their last 10 games, and they have an offense that shoots less than 39 percent from the field. Not ideal overall, but even worse when trying to win on the road. The Dartmouth Big Green has seen four of their six wins come at home, and they have an offense that averages nearly 80 points per game. If the numbers hold true in this contest, Penn just doesn't have the horses to keep up. The Penn Quakers are also just 4-9 ATS on the season, while the Dartmouth Big Green are 7-4 ATS on the season. The line isn't anything crazy. I'll lay the points with Dartmouth at home.
