PREDICTION: Columbia 21, Cornell 10.

BROWN (4-4, 3-2) at DARTMOUTH (5-3, 2-3)

After blowing out Harvard, Brown seemed poised to make a run for the title. Instead, the Bears lost All-Ivy quarterback Kyle Newhall-Cabellero to injury and eliminated themselves from contention.

Meanwhile, the Big Green has been surprisingly competitive in league play. Dartmouth lost to Yale by a three-point margin and held Penn to a seven-point game.

While both teams have fallen out of title contention, the Big Green can secure its first winning record in 13 years with a win this weekend.

At this point in the season, the Big Green has more momentum and more motivation than the Bears do.

PREDICTION: Dartmouth 24, Brown 21.

HARVARD (6-2, 4-1) at PENN (7-1, 5-0)

Because the Crimson and the Quakers both boast such strong defenses, this game could rest on the feet of the two kickers: Harvard freshman David Mothander and Penn senior Andrew Samson. Mothander took a step back last weekend in a windy game against Columbia—making only one of three field goal attempts—but his numbers are still better than his Quaker counterpart.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the rookie rallies from a subpar game last weekend and nails the kicks that really count.

PREDICTION: Harvard 17, Penn 14.
