Rhode Island Rams (7-0) vs Yale Bulldogs (4-4)
Monday, December 02, 2024 at 7:00 pm
My selection is on Yale plus the points over Rhode Island at 7 pm ET on Monday.
Yale enters this game off a surprising loss to Delaware, falling to 4-4 on the season. While that defeat was disappointing, the Bulldogs have had over a week to regroup and prepare for this tough road test. Yale’s balanced offense and disciplined approach should serve it well against a Rhode Island team that thrives in high-energy contests.
Rhode Island's 7-0 start has been impressive on the surface, but it comes with a caveat: the Rams are just 2-4 ATS in lined games. That suggests they've struggled to cover against the spread even when favored. The Rams are also facing a quick turnaround, having played twice since Yale's last outing.
This game carries added motivation for the Bulldogs, who will be eager to avenge a close loss to the Rams in last season's meeting. Expect Yale’s steady pace and effective ball movement to keep this game competitive, with the potential for the Bulldogs to spring an outright upset.
Projected score: Yale 71, Rhode Island 68.
Sean’s Pick Yale Bulldogs: +4 -108
