Pick: Brown 28, Rhode Island 20
COLUMBIA (0-2, 0-0 Ivy) at PRINCETON (0-2, 0-0)
I half-expected both of these teams to remain winless for a larger chunk of the year, but I guess if they’re playing each other that’s no longer possible.
Both teams are coming off blowout losses last week, so this matchup might actually allow them, as they say, to pick on someone their own size. Columbia certainly isn’t the class of the Ivy League, but at least it kept its first game close.
Pick: Columbia 17, Princeton 10
HARVARD (1-1, 1-0 Ivy) at LAFAYETTE (1-3, 0-1 Patriot)
Sports confuse me sometimes.
Lafayette crushed the only team favored over Harvard in the Ivies, yet lost to the team that Brown beat? It’s confusing.
There’s really no way to anticipate what’s going to happen in this one.
It’s unclear whether Winters or Chapple will start for the Crimson, but my money’s on Chapple.
There are a lot of question marks going into this game, probably more than in any other on the Ivy schedule.
Pick: Harvard 31, Lafayette 27
