Vermont vs Dartmouth Prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay points with a Vermont Catamounts team that’s 2-10 ATS on the season. However, this has more to do with Dartmouth more than anything. We just saw the Dartmouth Big Green lose at home to Le Moyne, not able to get any stops on defense. Oddsmakers are telling you what they think of Dartmouth, and it’s not good. Even with major cover issues, this game has to be Vermont or pass. So, I’ll lay the points with Vermont on the road if forced to pick.
