Colgate
Moneyline Pick: Colgate (-278) - A-

Colgate’s dynamic guard has been lighting up the scoreboard in recent matchups, setting the tone for a high-stakes encounter that could tip the scales in the Raiders’ favor. Despite both teams enduring fluctuating trends in their run of games, Colgate’s recent surge, coupled with key head-to-head successes and a stable lineup, has bolstered their status as the favorite. Meanwhile, Army’s momentum has been disrupted with their recent losing streak casts further doubt on their ability to overcome Colgate’s assertive play. Moreover, with both squads having pushed right to the end season and now in the Conference Championship, these intertwined factors collectively yield a compelling A- grade for Colgate’s moneyline bet, offering both value and a high probability of success.

Over/Under Pick: Under 147.5, (-110) - A-


Army’s dynamic guard, known for his clutch performances, stars in a matchup that intertwines fluctuating winning streaks, while Colgate’s historically effective defensive responses against Army’s leading scorers add another layer of intrigue. Both teams, carrying records of 10-8 (16-14) and 10-8 (13-18) respectively, are under the microscope as Army battles against Colgate who welcomes the return of a crucial wing player whose past encounters with Army have consistently downplayed scoring highs. With the current over/under line set at 147.5, subtle shifts in momentum and roster health are the game-changers that make a lower total score the smart pick.

Spread Pick: Army, +6.5 (-110) - B+

Army’s standout guard is lighting up the court as the Black Knights look ready to challenge Colgate’s momentum, even as the spread favors the home squad by 6.5 points. Army’s recent surge—bolstered by a modest winning streak in conference play—and Colgate’s hiccups, set the stage for a fascinating matchup steeped in historical competitiveness within their conference. Although Colgate has enjoyed flashes of brilliance, Army’s record, particularly their 16-14 conference performance compared to Colgate’s 13-18, hints at a resilient spirit that could defy expectations against the spread. Remember, when the underdog finds its spark, every extra point matters—so don’t be surprised if Army turns the game into a high-stakes close encounter.
