Dartmouth vs Yale Prediction 

Yale rolls into this matchup on a three game winning streak and they have scored at least 91 points in two of those three games. The Bulldogs are shooting 50% from the field and they have allowed fewer than 69 points in three of their last five. Dartmouth has dropped two of their last three games and they have allowed 79+ points in three of their last four. The Big Green are shooting 45% from the field, but they are 2-0 in their last two road games. Yale has won by at least 17 points in four of their last five games and I think they can cover this number as well.
