Lafayette vs Colgate Prediction
Lafayette has lost seven of its last 10 games and has had issues getting stops. I doubt things improve on the road, where Lafayette is 2-10 SU on the season. Colgate has seen six of its nine wins come on at home, and we just saw the Raiders blast Lafayette on the road a couple of weeks ago by a score of 90-67. Even with that setting up a revenge spot, it’s hard seeing that and then thinking Lafayette can compete for the second time on the road. Thick line for a below-average Colgate team, but the Raiders are at home where they play their best, and the first meeting was lopsided as can be. Give me Colgate and the chalk.
