Columbia vs Princeton Prediction
In this Columbia vs Princeton Prediction, Columbia is coming as road favorites. Columbia has been the better team this season but have been struggling lately, as they are 2-6 both straight up and against the spread in their last 8 games. Princeton has not been much better either, as they are 2-5 in their last 7 games, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, as they are 9-2 to the under in their last 11 games combined, with Princeton ranking outside the top-300 of the entire nation in points scored. Take the under in this one.
