PICK: I’m sticking with Harvard here. The Crimson have generally been a good offensive team this year in comparable matchups. They’ve hit 73 or more points in seven of their last nine outings, going 6-3 in that time. As for Dartmouth, they’ve had a few near-misses in this 1-9 run but simply haven’t been able to get over the proverbial hump. I don’t think they’ll quite get there in this game, either.
