The Bulldogs are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 road game, however, are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games at Dartmouth. The Big Green are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games & 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Dartmouth is a better team than their 7-15 record indicates as they have shown recently in back-to-back blowout wins vs. Cornell & Columbia, however, this is still a team that has overall struggled this season ranking just 262^nd in scoring offense, 302^nd in FG%, & 274^th in defensive FG%. Yale suffered a tough loss to Princeton, however, this is still arguably the best team in the Ivy League and as I think their 127^th ranked scoring offense will have some success in this one, I think Yale continues their recent strong ATS play at Dartmouth and does enough to cover this small road spread. Good Luck!
