Cornell Big Red vs. Brown Bears Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I can’t back Cornell, who have allowed 100+ points in four straight games against D-I opposition, and Brown has defensive issues of their own. This should be a high-scoring track meet, and I think we’re getting points galore here. Give me the over.
