Why Colorado will cover

Colorado vs Harvard Prediction 

Colorado rolls into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row to start the season and they will have the home-court advantage. The Buffaloes did need two overtimes to beat Northern Colorado in their second game, but they are shooting over 49% from the field. Harvard is just 1-3 through their first four games and they just lost by 22 points against Northeastern. The Crimson are only scoring 67.5 points per game and they should really struggle to rebound here. Take Colorado to cover.
