Army is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 home games.
Pick
I’m siding with Army here. Bucknell hasn’t been very good in conference play, and while they battled Colgate hard in their last game, it doesn’t change the fact that they’ve lost eight in a row and are the worst team in the Patriot League so far this season. Army has been really good in conference so far and their lone blemish is a two-point loss to Colgate, THE best team in the Patriot League this season. I’ll back Army laying the points here.
