PENN (2-2, 1-0 Ivy) at COLUMBIA (0-4, 0-1)

Penn was the preseason Ivy League favorite. Columbia hasn’t won since last November.

Penn is on a two-game winning streak. Freshmen at Columbia have seen more hurricanes than Lions’ wins.

The Quakers definitely struggled early in the season.

But it looks like Penn has regained its composure. Really, this one shouldn’t be close.

Pick: Penn 38, Columbia 10

YALE (3-1, 2-0 Ivy) at LAFAYETTE (1-4, 0-1 Patriot)

Though we haven’t reached the heart of the Ivy League season yet, a few clear leaders have started emerging. And Yale is definitely one of them.

The Bulldogs have cruised in three of its four wins this season, scoring no fewer than 30 points in any of its victories.

Its only loss came on the road against Lehigh, a ranked FCS team.

Its win over Dartmouth last week was nothing short of dominant, scoring 13 points in the first quarter and never looking back en route to a shutout.

Lafayette hasn’t played since Harvard crushed the Leopards two weeks ago.

While the team is talented, it also committed a ton of mistakes that included defensive errors and a number of personal fouls.

At this point, I think that the Bulldogs are too talented, and unless Lafayette has really figured something out, this one is Yale’s to lose.

Pick: Yale 31, Lafayette 23
