Loyola Maryland vs Colgate Prediction

Colgate is obviously the better team, but it’s coming off shaky losses to Boston and Navy. Colgate has also failed to cover 7 of its last 10 games. Loyola Maryland also hung around with Colgate last month, covering the 8.5-point spread. That game was a one-point contest with a minute left to play. Colgate is 11-15 ATS on the season, while Loyola Maryland is a profitable 14-12 ATS. Loyola Maryland should be able to hang around in this spot. I’ll grab the points.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Loyola MD +8.5
