I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, but I’m certainly not laying chalk with Colgate on the road. While the better team, the Colgate Raiders are inconsistent overall, and they’re a rough 4-9 against the spread on the road. The Lafayette Leopards have their issues, but we’re getting a lot of points, and they’re at home. It’s Lafayette or pass for me.
