Colgate vs Army Betting Prediction
The Raiders have an over/under record of 4-1 in their past five road games and 7-3 in their last 10 games on Mondays. In their previous five home games and their last seven Monday games, the Black Knights have a combined ATS record of 5-2. The away team is 4-1 ATS in the previous five meetings.
The Raiders are undoubtedly the superior team, but both of these teams have performed admirably thus far and have been doing so for the past week or so. The line shows little disrespect to the Black Knights, who are a good unit aiming for their 10th win. So, take the Black Knights to cover the spread in this one.
Pick: Army Black Knights +7.5 (-110)
