This game could honestly be either a slugfest or a scrappy, low-scoring affair. Instead of settling for a prediction that splits the difference, I’ll be bold. Hot takes only around here.

Prediction: Princeton 13, Columbia 6

Al Bagnoli retires again.

LEHIGH AT YALE

Yale just can’t catch a break.

Not only does it have to pencil in its annual loss to Harvard, Yale also has to deal with a red-hot Lehigh team for its third game.

Lehigh enters this week having dispatched of Penn and Princeton in back-to-back contests by 21 and 14 points, respectively.

Unlike Lehigh, the Bulldogs were just blown out by Colgate and lost to Cornell, losing by a combined 56 points. The future in New Haven is looking bleak indeed.

Prediction: Lehigh 52, Yale 7

CORNELL AT COLGATE

For once, Cornell might not be the most forgettable Ivy League team. The Big Red has jumped out to a 2-0 start, and instead of battling with other Ivy cellar-dwellers, Cornell might find itself nearer to the middle of the pack this year.

However, one roadblock in Cornell’s path is a Colgate team that should have no trouble rolling past the Big Red. The Raiders battled to a 38-31 loss against No. 7 Richmond and had no trouble at all against Yale, showing that Cornell will have to get seriously lucky to pull off a win.

Prediction: Colgate 45, Cornell 28

GEORGETOWN AT HARVARD

The Hoyas eked out a victory against Bagnoli’s boys last week, and they still have not lost a game.
