Dartmouth at Massachusetts Pick 12/20/22

I like the Minutemen here, but I'm not comfortable laying this

  big of a line. Neither team shoots the ball well—especially the Big Green, whose shooting

  numbers are dismal against Division teams. The Under seems like the play here, and that's exactly

  where my money is going to land. Take the Under 139.5
