Dartmouth Big Green

The Big Green covered two of 11 home spreads in 2025-26; just two Division I teams had a worse home rate, and two more matched it. On the road they covered nine of 14, so with Dartmouth the venue decides the side.

Home: 2 covers in 11

The home covers were both in mid-season, 77-64 over Boston University in December and 71-69 over Princeton in January. Everything else at home missed, including losses as favorites to Marist 75-56, Penn 84-74 and Brown 79-76, and a 111-90 loss to Cornell to close the season. One unit on Dartmouth in each of its 11 priced home games lost 6.23 units; 18 teams lost more.

Road: 9 covers in 14

On the road the price was right. The Big Green won three Ivy road games as clear underdogs: 76-68 at Harvard at +270, 102-91 at Cornell at +370 in the next game, and 64-63 at Columbia at +245. The road moneyline made 2.77 units over 13 priced games, the mirror image of the home number. Two heavy non-conference losses still covered: 93-80 at Wyoming getting 14.5 and 94-72 at Florida getting 35.5.

January paid, February did not

January was 5-3 with five covers in seven and 5.41 units. February gave most of it back: 1-5, one cover, 2.55 units lost. Yale beat them twice, by 15 and 13.

Over the season Dartmouth covered 11 of 25, 44%.

Laying points

The Big Green were favored seven times, went 3-4 and covered twice, at home against Boston University and at Holy Cross 89-64. Three of the four losses as favorites came at home; the fourth was 85-63 at Sacred Heart at -118. One unit on Dartmouth in those seven games lost 2.32 units.

The total

Thirteen unders and 11 overs in 24 lined games, with Dartmouth scoring 75.81 a game and allowing 76.7. No lean worth naming.
