Week 5 Picks
I bounced back with a decent 4-2 last week against the spread and 3-3 straight up to put my records at 17-10 in both columns and holding on just barely to a respectable .600-plus .629 winning percentage
Brown +16 vs. Princeton
The Bears look like the dregs of the Ivies right now, but Brown gets hyped for big games like this and I think they'll keep it close for the most part. Princeton should win by between 10 and 14 points.
Harvard -17 vs. Lafayette
The Leopards are starting to do lots of things right while Harvard is stumbling. But somehow, the Crimson look poised to explode at home.
Yale -6 1/2 vs. Holy Cross
Now it feels like the Holy Cross season is falling apart.
Dartmouth -9 at Sacred Heart
The Big Green may take their feet of the gas a bit here, but they'll still win by 10 or 11.
Cornell +1 1/2 vs. Bucknell
The Big Red will eke out another win.
Georgetown +14 1/2 at Lehigh
Lehigh will win, but the Hoyas will make it a game,
Central Connecticut -1 1/2 at Wagner
I don't get the small spread in this game. Seems like a real gift.

My brain is telling me we are at least 7 points better than Penn. My gut is telling me to be very cautious in expecting a win.
Too many years of Norries, Mangurian, etc., etc.
Celebrate after the final whistle.
