The offshore wise guys have spoken and Dartmouth is a 22-point favorite over Sacred Heart Saturday night on Memorial Field. But that doesn't make the Big Green the biggest favorite in the Ivy League. Not by a long shot.Princeton is a 39-point favorite at home against Brown
Penn is a 9-point favorite at home against Columbia
Harvard is a 14.5-point favorite at home against Holy Cross
Yale is a 3-point favorite at home against Mercer
Cornell is a 13-point underdog at unbeaten Colgate
Georgetown is a 2.5-point underdog at Lafayette
