Harvard hasn’t had a lot of success against the spread versus Yale in recent years, managing to cover just twice in the last 10 meetings between the schools. The Crimson won four of those games straight up, with the OVER/UNDER going 8-2.
This year, though, Harvard has been the better team so far, going 16-2 straight up and 8-5 against the spread compared to Yale’s marks of 12-4 straight up and 3-3 against the spread.
The Crimson are coming off a 54-38 win at Dartmouth last time out, giving up just 16 points in the first half of that game en route to a victory. Corbin Miller led the way with 13 points for Harvard that day, while Keith Wright had four points and seven boards.
That was Harvard’s fourth straight victory; Yale has also won four games in a row, most recently beating Brown on the road by a score of 73-60 last Saturday.
Greg Mangano was good for 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulldogs in that win over the Bears, and Reggie Willhite had 13 points. Austin Morgan picked up 10 points and five assists on the day.
Last year Yale edged Harvard 70-69 at home as a 6-point underdog in an OVER result, but totals bettors have seen Crimson contests go 3-10 on the OVER/UNDER so far this season. Yale is at 2-4 on the OVER/UNDER.
