Here you have 11-8 Yale on the road against 3-12 Princeton and in a basic pick-em. Yale is 9-4 against teams ranked 200 or worse and Princeton is at a fizzling #298 in the PR rankings. Yale is 2-2 on the road and lost to Brown who is nearly a 300 ranked team. However, this was a conference revenge game for Brown so that would explain the loss. These two teams have yet to meet all year till' now. The line is set the way it is because Yale is not a very good road team this year. But can you really bet on Princeton? Princeton is 2-5 at home and they have trouble scoring. Remember their 21 point performance against Monmouth-NJ? That was the lowest scoring output ever in college basketball! Yale does not have trouble scoring, putting up 60-70 range all year. Furthermore, Princeton has lost to Cornell, Lafayette and Monmouth at home – all worse teams than Yale and even lost big on the road big to Colgate by 23 which is inexcusable. Simply put, Yale is 2nd in the conference and the scoring will be too much for Princeton to handle or keep up with. Take the better team in Yale to pull away for a big win. Three stars on Yale.
