Brown vs Columbia Prediction
In this Brown vs Columbia Prediction, Columbia is coming as -5.5 home favorites. Columbia has been the better team this season but have been struggling lately with a 3-7 record both straight up and against the spread in their last 10 games. On the flip side, Brown has back-to-back wins, but had lost its six games before that and is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 and 7-4 ATS on the road. Brown also has a top-100 defense in the entire nation so I like them as road dogs in this spot. Take Brown and get the +5.5 points.
