Boston University vs Colgate Prediction
In this Boston University vs Colgate Prediction, Colgate is coming as -7 home favorites. Colgate has been the better team this season and have been above average at home, while Boston has been struggling on the road. Colgate is 5-2 in its last 7 games but 1-5 against the spread, while Boston is just 3-4 in its last 7 games and has failed to cover its last three games, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 9-3 to the over in their last 12 games combined, and their last three meetings have also gone over the total, so I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 146.5 points in this one.
