Dartmouth vs. Boston University Prediction

I’m on Dartmouth here. I get that Dartmouth’s overall numbers are a bit inflated because of their rout of a subdivision team to start the year and this is their first road game of the season. However, Boston U has serious offensive issues and while the Terriers played their best at home last year and are more battle-tested than Dartmouth, I don’t think that’s enough to remedy the offensive concerns I have with this team. Give me Dartmouth and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Dartmouth +4.5
