Week 8 Picks

I went 4-2 straight up and 4-2 against the spread last week to bring my season totals to 33-14 straight up and 24-23 ATS.


Dartmouth +8 at Harvard (game is Friday night)

Well, this is the big one. And with a national TV prime time slot, the excitement is only greater. I said at the beginning of the season that I thought Dartmouth was good enough to win the championship, but not if it had to beat the Crimson at Harvard. I see no reason to change that prediction, but I do think the Big Green should cover this spread.


Penn +1 at Brown

I am now a believer in the Quakers. They'll win this one.


Cornell +23 at Princeton

The Big Red will bounce back with a decent showing, but not enough to beat the Tigers.


Fordham -9 1/2 at Colgate

The Rams are getting hot again.


Georgetown +4 at Lehigh

The Hoyas are getting feistier by the week. I think they will lose this game, but not by much.


Duquesne -19 vs. Wagner

Wagner is without weapons.
