Albany Great Danes vs Harvard Crimson prediction
I considered the points with the Albany Great Danes because they are decent offensively and are 8-5 ATS on the year. The Harvard Crimson have been hit or miss all season, and they’ve failed to cover each of their last 6 games. With all that said, we’re only laying a bucket and Harvard has the best player on the floor. Cheap line. I’ll side with Harvard to get a big, much-needed victory.
