Harvard vs Maine Betting Prediction
In this case, you should probably stick with the Crimson. Both of these clubs are coming off painful defeats against elite opponents. However, this should be a far more evenly matched contest. In their previous game against Kansas, the Crimson shot a meager 39.6 percent and had a 38-29 rebounding disadvantage.
With 62 or fewer points in three straight games, the Crimson hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard lately. Despite this, the Crimson should have a few good chances to score against the Black Bears. Over their last two games, the Black Bears have given up a total of 182 points, so take the away team to cover the spread tonight.
Pick: Harvard Crimson -6 (-110)
