Bucknell at Colgate
2:00 PM Eastern
Colgate has become a good low major program, and with two more wins this season they will have gotten to 20 wins five straight years, not counting the covid season. They will take to the floor at home with an 18-8 record to face 10-16 Bucknell. Colgate brings a 10 game winning streak to this contest. This line has bettors giddy to get on the Red Raiders, as it opened with Colgate -11 and I see some 14.5's out there as of this writing, and the market shift has made Bucknell a good choice. Bucknell has improved and own a winning straight up and ATS record in their last two games. Colgate won by 11 at Bucknell earlier in the season, so I don't expect to see the Red Raiders "A" game in this one. Grab the points and make the play on Bucknell.
