Week 9 Picks

 


I went 3-1 straight up last week and 1-3 against the spread. My season totals are 37-14 SU and 23-28 AGS 


Dartmouth -10 at Cornell

This can be a tricky one, as Cornell has been a sticky opponent for the Big Green over the years. But I think the Dartmouth defense will rise to the occasion even as Jameson Wang plays his final home game. 


Harvard -6 at Penn

The Crimson has momentum, and so do the Quakers. But Harvard should cover. 


Yale -16 1/2 vs. Princeton

The Tigers just don't look good.


Georgetown +2 1/2 at Fordham

Patriot League games have been impossible this year. Taking the points blindly here. 


Wagner +15 1/2 at Duquesne 

I like the Seahawks to make this a game. 


Lafayette -21 1/2 vs. Stonehill

Stonehill seems like a Washington Generals like operation.

Agree about Yale, but not Harvard and Dartmouth. Think it’s a very bad spot for the Crimson, and I believe Cornell could make things interesting against the Hanoverians.

Cornell has beaten Dartmouth twice since 2009. And only one of those (2019) was an upset. The Green will do just fine on Saturday.

We’ll see.

The Penn game is a trap game for Harvard. I wouldn't be shocked if we go into the final week of the season in a 3-way tie for 1st place.

I’ll also weigh in here. Yes, Dartmouth is not invincible. But let’s face it, after giving up massive points last week, Cornell demonstrates that it doesn’t have a chance against Dartmouth. Yes, we all know that anybody can beat anybody and we never know from week to week. Harvard is the class of the league and will be victorious at Franklin Field after a closely fought affair with Penn. Yale humbles Princeton and Columbia edges Brown regardless of who is named our starting quarterback. Maybe that’s been published someplace already.

I actually think Penn beats Harvard but Dartmouth hangs on against Cornell in a wild ride. It’s been a gauntlet for Harvard in recent weeks, and they played very well at Dartmouth and then at home against us. But the Yale game at home will also be very tough, and remember that these are all college teams (so there’s more volatility and lack of consistency from one week to the next). Couple that with Penn playing much better of late, and it’s a classic trap spot for the Crimson. They’ve lost once already, very nearly lost a second (in Hanover), and next week will play the team that I believe is performing the best in the league at the moment. Look for Harvard to lose this week or next.

Does anyone have an update on Stagg?

Reports of the demise of Amos Alonzo Stagg have NOT been exaggerated - he has been dead since 1965.

The above comment reeks of GG…

And now for the inevitable comment from someone telling us how they first met him in 1910. Let’s return to the 21st century.

Your obsession with Stagg is unusual.

The rest of us are more concerned about the prospect of stagflation.

What do you expect people to do with this list? This is the Columbia football blog. We don't need this type of information here.
