The Colgate Raiders are playing the better ball as of late, but you could argue the Boston University Terriers are the better team here overall, and we’re getting a free bucket with them at home. Yes, Boston is 1-7 against the spread at home, but this line is close to being a pick em, so I’m not sure that matters much. Also, this game has been moved up a day due to the storm, and it’s an early start. Boston should have the edge. Give me the home dog.
