Yale vs Princeton Prediction
In this Yale vs Princeton Prediction, Yale is coming as -8.5 road favorites. Yale has been the far better team this season, with a better overall record and just two defeats in its 14 games played. They have also been almost perfect on the road but are just 2-3 against the spread in their last 5 games. Princeton has been inferior offensively, scoring 16.3 points per game less than Yale, but they have been almost perfect at home and are 6-3 against the spread in their last 9 games. Both teams have similar number defensively, so I like the hosts to keep this one close. Take Princeton and get the +8.5 points.
