Penn is 8-2-1 against the spread in their last 11 games against Cornell and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games at Cornell. The road team has also covered in 11 of the last 17 games in this series. My pick for this game goes with Penn on the road as Cornell has struggled this year and still playing with inexperience talent. Penn isn’t much better, but they are better, so I will take them with the points.
