Pennsylvania vs Cornell Prediction
Both teams have identical overall records and Cornell is coming off back-to-back wins and covers, while being very good at home. On the flip side, Pennsylvania has lost its last two games, but are 7-1 against the spread in their last 8 games, but have been terrible on the road. Since I see no value on either side, both teams are 5-1 to the under in their last 6 games combined, as Cornell’s second-best offense in the nation is averaging just 81 points per game in its last three games. Take the under.
