Cornell vs Columbia Betting Prediction

I'll continue to back the Big Red. The Big Red have won six of their previous seven games and are coming off a terrific comeback victory over a strong Yale club.

During that period, the Big Red have won every game by 68 points or more. In five of their last six games, the Lions have scored 62 points or fewer. If the Big Red gets rolling, the Lions will most likely lack the firepower to keep up. Take the away team to win this one and cover the spread.

Pick: Cornell Big Red -13.5 (-105)
