The Ivy League has been a battle between Princeton and Yale for several years, but some things are looking different this year. Yale is 12-2 and right at the top, but Columbia has been the biggest surprise of the season to this point, as the Lions are 12-3 on the season. Harvard doesn't have a good record at 8-7, but their schedule has featured some very good teams. Columbia is in rarified air in the Ivy League. The Lions are off to a 12-3 start. Columbia has a 12-3 record with two of the three losses coming to UConn and California. Columbia opened the season at 6-0-1 ATS, but they went 1-$ ATS in their next 5. It appears the Lions' secret to improvement is out, as teams are now paying attention to them. Make the play on Harvard.
