I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, but I’m certainly not laying chalk with Penn. The Penn Quakers haven’t played a game since December 11, and they haven’t won a game since November 21. The Brown Bears are a battle tested team that have had some recent games under their belt, and they’re better defensively. Give me the road dog.
