I hope you've been fading my PODs and playing my regular plays. Quite honestly I've been playing my regular plays for a lot more than my PODs until I can break out of my losing streak. I went 2-1 last night on regular plays with Tennessee-Martin losing somehow in OT after being up by 3+ in the final minutes.
Play of the day record now a miserable 12-13-2
Cornell +20
Penn is the class of the Ivy and Cornell is 0-11 away but look for the Big Red to stay within 20.
Penn is coming off two very tough Big Five wins over St. Joe's (last Saturday) and LaSalle (last Tuesday) and now they have to play two Ivy games within 24 hours. I think the starters will get some early rest tonight in anticipation of tomorrow's tougher game vs Columbia.
Cornell will probably try to slow the game down which will keep Penn from covering.
Regular plays:
Yale -6
Yale is too deep and too good on the boards for Dartmouth.
Brown +1.5
Brown wins this one su as Harvard is coming off a 20 day layoff and an upset win over Penn while Brown got out-hustled in a home loss vs Yale. Brown is the highest scoring team in the Ivy (82 ppg) and IMO is the #2 team in the Ivy behind Penn and I don't see them losing two league games in a row.
Columbia +9.5
I'm less confident on this one, but think the Lions might stay in this one for a while. The Tigers have gone back to their namesake defense and Columbia also plays a slow-paced game.
In their L5, Princeton's opponents have averaged 47.6 while Columbia's foes averaged 50.2.
IMO this should be a low-scoring game in which Columbia can stay within 9.5.
If anyone wants more detail on these games or my rationale please let me know. You can also check my earlier post on these games which may have a little more info.
