Cornell is 5-1 in their last 7 meetings against Dartmouth, but Dartmouth is 3-1 against the spread in their last 4 meetings. Under is 5-2 in their last 7 meetings, and both teams are tied 1-1 wins this season, with each one winning at home. Cornell won by 76-64 and Dartmouth by 88-49, with both games going under the point total.  

In this Dartmouth Big Green vs Cornell Big Red Prediction, Cornell is coming as -4.5-point favorites. Cornell is rightfully favored, as they have a better record this season, and more wins away from home than Dartmouth (8 to 5). Both teams are coming in very good form into this matchup, as Cornell is coming off four consecutive wins and are 5-0 against the spread in their last 5, while Dartmouth is 6-3 in their last 9 games and 7-2 against the spread. Cornell’s offense is scorching-hot, having scored 100+ points in back-to-back games, so I expect this to be a high-scoring affair. Give me the over the point total.
