Colgate Raiders vs. Holy Cross Crusaders Prediction

I’m on Colgate here. I just think the Raiders are the better team in this game and over the last few games have once again started to show why they’re perennially the class of the Patriot League more often than not. Holy Cross has been competitive in spots, but I just feel like Colgate snags the win and cover on the road here so give me Colgate.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Colgate -7.5
