Week 8 Picks



Last week I went 4-2 straight up and 3-3 against the spread.

My overall record is now at 27-10 straight up and 18-17-1 ATS

There aren’t as many games to pick today because both Fordham and Monmouth are off. Plus, we have some more in-league games that also cut down on the inventory.


Princeton -6 vs. Brown

The Tigers have to wake up and wake up now. Brown will make it a game but lose by 7-10 points.

Harvard -18 vs. Lafayette

The Crimson are poised to finally break out after a few sluggish games in a row.


Colgate +7 at Yale

Yale will pull this one out, but Colgate got a taste of Ivy blood last week against Princeton and now they want more. This game feels like an Eli win by a FG.


Holy Cross +12 at Dartmouth

The Big Green will let down a bit and Holy Cross usually gets way up for this game. Dartmouth will still win by 7-10 points.


Lehigh -7 ½ at Cornell

Lehigh needs a nice win and the Big Red will give it to them.


Maine -5 ½ vs. Albany


The Great Danes seem to be running out of steam now, despite a big improvement from last season. The Black Bears will win by a TD.

Tough picks this week.

Brown is finally bouncing back from the Georgetown beatdown. They have the ability to take down Princeton who is suffering a bit lack of depth at receiver right now. Brown's defense is their strength.

Unless Hempel is playing at QB Harvard is vulnerable offensively. Lafayette is not strong but still capable. I would not touch this game.

Yale should win this game but Colgate has been surprising thus far this season. They have a bit of knack for clutch plays. They just might catch a break to win this one.

Holy Cross seems to be deteriorating and Dartmouth is a different team than usual. I would not be surprised to see a blow out here for the Big Green.

Lehigh by 20.

Maine should be better than they have been playing but they are not. Albany has been hanging in there against quality teams. They just might take this one.
