Pick: Lehigh 41, Yale 35

WAGNER (1-3, 1-2 NORTHEAST) at CORNELL (1-1, 0-1 Ivy)

Cornell lost to Yale last week. But with the Bulldogs emerging as a serious league contender and with the win over Bucknell in week one, there’s a chance that Cornell may be an improved team from last season.

Wagner has lost its last three, but both games have been tight. But I also think that the calibers of teams the Seahawks have played so far haven’t been great, with the exception of one FCS-ranked team.

Pick: Cornell 16, Wagner 13

PENN (0-2, 0-0 Ivy) at DARTMOUTH (1-1, 0-0 Ivy)

Penn’s level of play so far this year has to be the biggest surprise in the league. It’s not just that the Quakers have lost its first two games. It’s that they were defeated badly in both.

Meanwhile, Dartmouth returns last year’s co-MVP Nick Schwieger, and the running back is out to another tremendous start to the year. He’s averaging 137.5 yards per game.The Big Green’s first loss, last week against Sacred Heart, came down to a last-minute field goal. The team could just as easily be 2-0.

that I would have even been considering Dartmouth in this game, I would’ve laughed. But the Quakers have been playing sub-par football; the Big Green has impressed in the season’s first two weeks.

Plus, it’s Dartmouth’s first ever night game. Home-field advantage will be as strong as ever.

Pick: Dartmouth 24, Penn 21

RHODE ISLAND (1-2, 0-1Atlantic 10) at BROWN (1-1, 0-1)

Though Harvard played well last week, I also think Brown just had a lousy game.

Quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero remains one of the top passers in the league and should not be overlooked as a threat.

Rhode Island picked up its first win last week against Fordham, which only beat Columbia by a touchdown. It’s tough for me to count that win as too meaningful.
