Ivy League Week 4 - 2013 edition

[bonarae]

Wow, Yale is a surprise contender this season after their upset of Cal Poly.

Lehigh at Columbia
Harvard at Cornell - toss-up. Question for justifying the toss-up is: Cornell doesn't have defense...
Brown at Bryant
Lafayette at Princeton
Yale at Dartmouth - can the Elis' momentum from California continue in New England?
Penn at W&M - toss-up

I'm superstitious. I haven't picked Yale all year, why start now. xwhistlex

That, and I really think it could go either way.

Sorry, I omitted the 7 (in parentheses, of course) this week. Next week I'll return the parenthesized number in the thread title meaning the regular week number for the rest of the FCS (in that case, 8). xpeacex

Week 7 Sportsbook:

Harvard (-20½) at Cornell o/u 73½

William & Mary (-19) vs Penn o/u 41

These seem generous. I like the favorites but I'd take the points.

This.

Yale is definitely better than advertised and will be looking for revenge from last year's game.

But Dartmouth is desperate. And it's homecoming in Hanover. And Yale may be looking ahead to Fordham.

i fully expect a game that goes down to the wire, and I'm hoping hoping hoping Dartmouth comes out on top this time.

[Go Green]

As for the rest of them...

Lehigh (-28) at Columbia o/u 55½ LEHIGH BLOWOUT

Harvard (-20½) at Cornell o/u 73½ HARVARD BLOWOUT

Princeton (-13½) vs Lafayette o/u 57 PRINCETON, BUT NOT TO COVER

Brown (-6) at Bryant o/u 49 BYRANT TO WIN

William & Mary (-19) vs Penn o/u 41 W&M BUT NOT TO COVER

I doubt that. I don't think any Ivy team would look past another Ivy team to an OOC game and definitely not Yale this week. If Dartmouth wins, it won't be because Yale was looking ahead.

Week over.

Lehigh over Columbia, 24-10 - Why was the final score close? xchinscratchx
Harvard over Cornell, 34-24 - Is Mathews Payton-worthy anymore? xsmhx
Brown beat Bryant, 41-14
Princeton beat Lafayette, 42-26
Dartmouth over Yale, 20-13 - Yale just imploded. xoopsx
W&M over Penn, 27-14
