I had a gratifying day with my picks last Saturday, going 5-1 straight up and a perfect 6-0 against the
spread.
That brings my season totals to 33-9 straight up and 27-14-1
against the spread.
With Fordham and Monmouth taking byes this weekend, I only
have four games to choose from in this round:
Princeton +3 at
Harvard
Well, now it’s time for me to really do a gut check. I picked
Harvard to win the league, but I also have finally come around to believing in
this Princeton team and what I see as an unstoppable offense. Harvard has a lot to play for after losing a shocking
game to the Tigers last year in New Jersey. But Princeton is looking for its
first title in seven years and falling to rock bottom in the years in between. This
should be an excellent game, but I think the Tigers will find a way to win.
Brown -10 at Cornell
The Bears should bounce back from the loss to Princeton and
Cornell is really struggling on defense. Brown to win and cover.
Penn pick ‘em vs.
Yale
I made the joke earlier this week that maybe this game
should be sponsored by the Red Cross. It seems like key players on both sides
are injured, thus there is no real line on this game. I’ll side with the
Quakers on this one since they’re at home and the air is coming out of Yale’s
tires right now.
Bucknell +17 ½ vs.
Lehigh
This Mountain Hawk team is good, but I think this will be a
lot like their game against Columbia two weeks ago, a two score win. Lehigh by
13 or 14.

A Princeton win would be impressive. They look like the type of squad that can get it done. The problem is Harvard is that type of program as well and they have more experience doing it. I think Princeton will keep it close but Harvard will prevail.
Too bad for Yale things are not staying consistent. That win at Cal Poly was one for the ages, something to build off of.
Have to agree on Brown v Cornell. In fact, Cornell is shaping up to be Cornell, which means a potential CU win when their turn at the turnstile arrives.
Yeah sure, a potential CU win. As the WKCR broadcasters astutely pointed out, CU is not statistically the worst team in D-1, but only the third worst. However, those stats did not include the Dartmouth game. Yes! Here we come!
