Northeastern is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit home loss and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games following a double-digit home loss. Harvard is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a win while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
I’m having a hard time talking myself into Northeastern here as the Huskies just haven’t been great against the number. Harvard’s had their moments as well but this is a Crimson team that’s played their best at home by far and are looking more and more like a team that didn’t have to cancel their season last year. I’ll lay the bucket with Harvard here.
