Long considered an academic competitor to the Ivy League, Georgetown is not quite at the Crimson’s level on the football field. Even with its offense limited by injury, Harvard should manage to dispatch Georgetown in time to see the sights.
Prediction: Harvard 24, Georgetown 10
YALE AT CORNELL
The toughest part of the weekend for the Bulldogs will be locating Ithaca, N.Y. Assuming they find it, Roberts and Varga should have a field day as the Big Red continue to put the L’s in Cornell.
Prediction: Yale 38, Cornell 17
PRINCETON AT COLUMBIA
This score will be whatever the Tigers want it to be. I’ve already written more words than points the Lions will score, so I’ll stop.
Prediction: Princeton 59, Columbia 7
BROWN AT RHODE ISLAND
Ah, the famous battle for the Governor’s Cup fought between the 0-2 Bears and the 0-4 Rams. Does it get more Rhode Island than that?
Prediction: Brown 23, Rams 19
PENNSYLVANIA AT DARTMOUTH
This game is the most interesting of the weekend, and it should be the best. Last year, the Quakers escaped, 37-31, in quadruple-overtime. Look for Dartmouth to beat Penn for the first time since 2007 Saturday (though the last five contests have been decided by an average of 5.6 points) with a stingy defense and just enough big plays from junior quarterback Dalyn Williams.
Prediction: Dartmouth 20, Penn 17
