Brown vs Dartmouth Prediction
This game has magnified import for these teams, which were picked to finish in the second division in a preseason poll but are in the mix for a spot in the league’s postseason tournament, in which only the top four teams qualify. Dartmouth is one game behind co-leaders Princeton and Cornell, and Brown is one more game behind in a three-way tie for fifth place.
With a victory here, Brown gain a tiebreaker edge over Dartmouth, which could turn into a big deal. The Big Green is 5-1-1 ATS in lvy games this season, and is a good play to even the season series.
- Pick: Dartmouth +1.5 (-104)
