Pennsylvania vs Yale Prediction


Yale is the better team and has won 9 of the last 10 games against Penn. We saw the Quakers lose by 17 points to Yale last month. However, Yale hasn’t been covering these big numbers lately and is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games overall. We’ve also seen Yale outright lose to Harvard and Princeton as big favorites over its last 10 games. Penn has quietly won 4 straight games, which includes upsets over Cornell twice. This line feels a bit inflated, and I’m not buying it. Give me Penn and the points on Saturday.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Penn +10.5
