NCAAB: Monday Teaser has Howard seeing Crimson, Bobby Mo to cover

Harvard - 10 @ HOWARD 1 pm, Robert Morris +3.5 @ CENTRAL CONNECTICUT ST. 3:30 pm

Harvard - 10 @ HOWARD 1 pm . It’s an MLK Day Special with the Crimson traveling down to Burr Arena to square off against the Bison (8-11). On paper this game is a mismatch and we’d be worried about Harvard sleepwalking through it except the team that some folks picked to win the Ivies, is coming off an 18-point thumping at Dartmouth in which their usually solid defense was shredded. Gotta think the Crimson will come ready to play and we’ll bump them down to -5. We’re going to pair that with Robert Morris +3.5 @ CENTRAL CONNECTICUT ST. 3:30 pm. Robert Morris (9-9) is 4-1 in Northeast Conference. The CCS Blue Devils (8-10) are 2-3 in conference play and coming off an 11-point home loss to St. Francis PA. Getting 3.5 with the Colonials already seems pretty good. Getting 8.5 seems better.
Pick: Harvard -5 over HOWARD paired with Robert Morris +8.5 over CENTRAL CONNECTICUT ST.
