*8* ANNIHILATOR on Harvard.

The Harvard Crimson are no longer the cream of the crop in the Ivy League, but a home game against on of the bottom feeders of the conference looks like a good spot for Harvard to get back on track. The Brown Bears are 1-7 on the road so far, and another loss is likely in the cards tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These teams have faced each other 10 times since 2011, and Harvard has won all 10 of those games. They beat the Bears by a score of 72-62 at home last year, and despite their struggles, they have a winning home record this season.

2. Home Cookin' - The Bears are shooting just 38.6 percent from the field on the road, almost 10 percent lower than Harvard averages at home. Their biggest concern is that they are allowing opponents to average over 80 points per game on the road.

3. X-Factor - The Crimson are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games versus teams with a losing record.

Selection: This is a play on the Harvard Crimson (8*)
