    Why 2 models like it
    House Rules
    • Under 45.5 wins at 45; under 45 pushes at 45.
    • ProphetX quotes under 45.5 at +113 (46.95¢) versus under 45 at -280 (73.68¢).
    • Expected, not confirmed, depth-chart availability leaves late personnel uncertainty.
    Key Number CFB
    • The 28.36-point probability gap between the two under quotes vastly exceeds the empirical mass expected between 45.5 and 46.5.
    • Five-game offense/defense scoring midpoint is about 48.7 points; the efficiency read does not support an uncontrolled Columbia-Dartmouth shootout.
    • Most likely loss: Columbia's 27.2-point offense and Dartmouth's 22.8 points allowed produce enough scoring for 46 or more.

    Why it likes it
    • Dartmouth's offense averages 0.097 EPA/play and 2.024 points/drive, but produced 7 and 27 points in its last two games.
    • Expected QBs are Chase Goodwin and Grayson Saunier; New York forecast is mostly sunny with light, variable wind.
    • Both defenses allow positive EPA: Dartmouth +0.146 and Columbia +0.167 per play; explosive plays can break the under.

    • Columbia is 4-1 over its last five with a -1.0 average margin; Dartmouth is 2-3 at -3.6.
    • Columbia averages 27.2 points and 48.7% success versus Dartmouth's 19.2 points and 44.2% success.
    • Most likely winning path: Columbia's stronger recent offense turns home field into a one-score game or outright win.
    • Most likely loss: Dartmouth's defense, allowing 22.8 points per game versus Columbia's 28.2, controls the matchup.
