| CBB | (869) Yale at (870) Dartmouth: Spread | 7:00pm EST - Feb 13/2026 |
The PLAY: Yale -8.5 (-115)
The Bulldogs were laying -15.5 for the game at Yale but because Friday's rematch is at Dartmouth, we get a smaller line. However, the Big Green haven't really shown any sort of home court advantage; they're 5-5 at home, 5-6 on the road. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are a healthy 6-2 on the road. Yale, still the best team in the Ivy League, has defeated Dartmouth six straight times. Five of those six victories came by at least 15 points. This should be another double-digit win for the Bulldogs.
