Dartmouth
Pick: Yale Moneyline (-420) - B

Yale enters this matchup riding a strong six-game winning streak while Dartmouth has struggled, dropping their last three. The Bulldogs have been dominant, and with their momentum, it’s hard to see them faltering against a wavering Big Green squad. While the odds on Yale aren't great for value, their recent consistency gives confidence in a road win. Dartmouth will need a major turnaround to challenge the Ivy League leaders, but with their current form, that seems unlikely.

Pick: Under 154.5 - B+

Yale enters this matchup riding a strong six-game winning streak, while Dartmouth has struggled over its past trio of games, failing to muster consistent offensive production. Historically, the Bulldogs have kept the Big Green under 70 points in three of their last four meetings, and with Dartmouth’s scoring leader out, offensive struggles seem inevitable. On Yale’s side, leading scorer John Poulakidas should have an advantage inside, but their methodical pace will keep possessions limited. Given the circumstances, the under holds solid value, especially with both teams likely leaning on their defense. This pick grades out at a B+ for being a strong but not completely risk-free value play.

Pick: Yale -9 (-110) - B

Yale heads into this matchup riding a six-game winning streak, while Dartmouth has struggled to find consistency in Ivy League play. The Bulldogs' defense has been suffocating, holding opponents under 65 points per game in their last five contests, and they should have little trouble shutting down a Dartmouth offense that has been inefficient against top-tier conference competition. Historically, Yale has dominated this matchup, covering the spread in four of the last five meetings against the Big Green. With momentum, defensive prowess, and Dartmouth’s injury concerns all pointing in Yale’s favor, the Bulldogs are primed to cover the nine-point spread with relative ease. While not a lock, this bet offers solid value, making it a strong play at a B rating.
