Petlansky Feature
The Modesto-area sports journalists really like 2016 commit Hunter Petlansky, and with good reason.
One local high school football website posted this video of Petlansky's highlights through the first four games of his current season.
I went 4-3 straight up and 4-3 against the spread last week to put my shaky overall records at 12-8 straight up and 11-9 ATS so far.
One thing to note about this week's lines is that the gambling sites don't seem to be factoring in the rough weather heading our way at all in the spreads.
Penn +16 vs. Dartmouth
This is a huge spread considering the weather and improvement Penn showed against Villanova. I think Dartmouth will win a close game by about 10 at the most.
Colgate -9 at Cornell (Friday night game)
The Big Red have been better than expected despite two losses to start the season. But now I expect the bubble to burst.
Georgetown +28 1/2 at Harvard (Friday night game)
This just looks like too big a spread for a terrible weather game. I know Harvard could beat the Hoyas by 30 or 40, but I think they will pack it in early and win by about 21 to 24.
Yale -5 at Lehigh
This is a good spread, even considering the weather. The Elis seem like a lock at -5.
Brown -13 1/2 over Rhode Island
The Bears may struggle to cover the spread in the weather, but this is their game to win.
Fordham -12 at Lafayette
Rain or no rain, this feels like a blowout. Just 12 points? What am I missing?
Wagner -3 1/2 over Robert Morris
This feels like a must-win for the Seahawks.

Mullaney is the type of recruit we would have missed out on pre-Bagnoli. And it looks like the class is shaping up nicely, unless Penn plant "Bob Barker" scares off recruits by his negative blogging here.
