Not an impressive first night at Madjacks last night going 1-3, I'll keep plugging away though.
2* Columbia +4.5
Columbia has quitely been a very effective spread team over the years. Consider these numbers, 61-36 ATS as an underdog since '97, and 44-25 ATS in all road games in that period. They've also owned Harvard covering their last 7 trips to Cambridge and 12 of the last 15 overall meetings, last year they won here SU by 11 points as an underdog. Both teams are scoring less than 60 points per game in their last 5 games so the +4.5 points looks pretty good, Columbia has also been strong on the defensive end holding opponents to just 38% shooting in those games, and considering they played @Penn and @Princeton in their last 2 games and it's even more impressive. They've also held Harvard to 34%, 41%, and 37% shooting in the last 3 meetings so they match up well with the Crimson and have a legit shot at the SU win tonight IMO.
Best of Luck to everyone tonight!
