Prediction and Conclusion
The Pennsylvania Quakers are struggling lately, losing the last six games, but at least they are back home. They are with their backs against the wall and will have to step up their game as the leading team in the Ivy League is coming to Philadelphia. Yale is playing well lately and is yet to lose a single game in 2024. However, the Quakers have won four of the last 10 games against the Bulldogs and will try to turn things around. The total point line is set pretty low at 137.5 points, and this game will most likely go over it.
