Cornell vs. Princeton, 7PM ET (View Matchup)
Cornell is 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games with Princeton while the Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss. My pick goes with Princeton as they need the win to stay in contention for the league title. The Ivy League doesn’t do a postseason tournament, so the regular season champion wins. I expect Princeton to come out strong and dominate a struggling Cornell team.
