Odds from Betonline.ag
In this game the Yale team is coming in playing good on the season overall, but the Bulldogs are playing on the road. On the road the Bulldogs have not really been playing that well and are at the five hundred mark. The defense for Yale should struggle to balance out the offensive attack here from Cornell, but look for the Bulldogs offense to fall flat against the Cornell defense and not perform to a high level. I see the Big Red winning this game, covering the spread, but also for the offenses to push this total over.
