PENN (6-1, 4-0) at PRINCETON (1-6, 0-4)

At this point, one can’t help but feel bad for Princeton. After falling just short at Cornell last week in the battle of the winless “titans,” the Tigers have the great misfortune of hosting red-hot Penn. The league’s best defense versus the league’s worst defense and second-worst offense? This should be as lopsided in reality as it looks on paper.

PREDICTION: Penn 37, Princeton 7.

COLUMBIA (3-4, 1-3) at HARVARD (5-2, 3-1)

Things are looking up on all counts in Cambridge. Collier Winters is back under center, Gino Gordon is continuing to dominate the Ivy League, and Harvard’s looking more and more like a championship contender every week. A pair of big games loom on the horizon, but first, the Crimson has Columbia to contend with.

The Lions are a better team than their 1-3 Ivy record may indicate, and they’ve got a talented young quarterback in Sean Brackett. The two squads boast the top two scoring offenses in the conference, so this one’s pretty much guaranteed to be a slugfest. But Harvard’s got an edge on the defensive side of the ball and an awful lot more to play for. The Crimson should get it done at home.

PREDICTION: Harvard 35, Columbia 24.
