Friday Picks
Posted by IvyConniver at 13 Feb, 2009
So, apparently my takes on the games are significantly off from where our friends in Vegas see them. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Lets go one by one:
Harvard at Cornell -9 = -15
The Big Red has now won three of its last four Ivy League home contests by more than 25 points, including drilling Harvard 86-53 at the end of last year. People remember crap like that, and bet accordingly. Unfortunately, it has absolutely nothing to do with this game. Play: Harvard +15 2x
Penn at Brown +2 = -1
Not sure what advantage Brown shows here in this game, other than being at home. This is a game between two struggling teams, both of which are better than their record show, but capable of laying a huge goose egg on any given night. No Play
Princeton at Yale +4 = -2
Yale might be a tough place to play, but with the Ely’s averaging less than 50pts per game, and the Tigers having one of the toughest defenses in the league, Princeton might be able to take this one on free throws alone. Play: Princeton +2 3x
Dartmouth at Columbia +3 = -8.5
I saved this one for last, because it’s absurd. Columbia laying 8.5 to anybody in the league is a joke, especially considering Ampin supposedly had a pretty bad ankle sprain last weekend and is questionable for this weekend. Play: Dartmouth +8.5 4x
Good luck!
