Dartmouth vs Princeton
The Princeton Tigers are easily the better team and have owned Dartmouth over the years. However, while Princeton is winning games, it's just 3-6 ATS in its last 10 games. Also, while Princeton has beaten up Dartmouth, it's the Big Green that has covered four of the last six meetings. Heck, in February 2023, Dartmouth outright beat Princeton as a 7.5-point underdog. Not saying that's what's going to happen here, but Dartmouth isn't playing terrible ball right now and has seen five of its seven wins come at home. Dartmouth is a top-100 scoring offense, and that should be good enough to keep us within the number.
