As dominant as the USA's hockey team first period against Finland was, that's what Matt Rivers has done to the sportsbook. Rivers was the winningest handicapper ever—nobody came close—on a large network of sites before coming to the show.
Tonight he has Brown plus the points. They are getting 16 points at Harvard according to the Olympic odds.
Here is what Rivers says:
Harvard is a very very good Ivy League team that has proven a ton to me this season. They have played legitimate teams and held their own including upsetting Boston College and staying toe-to toe with UCONN. Tommy Amaker has really built up this program and right now they are second best in the conference behind only Cornell. They did lose to Princeton as the Tigers are pretty good themselves but the Crimson are still the superior team of those two.
Harvard is well superior to tonight's opponent in Brown but this number just feels a little too large to me. The Bears are mediocre at best and a middling squad in this conference but they just shocked Princeton on the road as a very similar pup and should be feeling alright about themselves here.
The Bears have won two in a row, to start this four game road trip, and three of their last four with the only defeat coming at home against Harvard setting up a potential for payback right here. No I don't think we will see an outright but that five game losing streak is a thing of the past and Jesse Agel's team seems to be coming around a bit of late.
There is no doubt that Jeremy Lin is the best player on the court and he should score his usual 20 or so but in the end this price seems to be a little too steep. The Crimson should roll but something in the range of 68-60.

A third straight monster 400,000* winner and winning day is here as I am about to improve to 10-4 with these plays all-time. Iona and Fairfield is the rock solid lock
