The New Hampshire Wildcats are the far more battle tested team here, and they’re doing an elite job of defending the three ball, which Columbia relies on a bit. New Hampshire is also 5-2 ATS this season, while also covering 7 of its last 9 games overall. I’d need another point or two to truly consider the Columbia Lions. The line is reasonable.
