Brown vs Columbia Prediction
There’s not much separation between Columbia and Brown, as you can argue which side is better. The difference here is Columbia hasn’t won a game since December 28 so excuse me if I’m not eager to lay chalk with the Lions. Brown has five road wins on the season and has won eight of the last 10 games against Columbia. The underdog has covered six of the last 10 games between Brown and Columbia. Based on the one-sided history and Columbia not winning a game in over a month, give me Brown and the free bucket.
