Updated pictures from Instagram, looks like Gavin is number 88?
I’ll take that over!!!Wow!
Wow!
I am hoping as the season goes on we put enough together to steal a couple games in that top tier of yours. Maybe one of UNC and Duke. Taking care of business against army would be nice as well. I would say they are a step behind those other teams. I think we can win at least 1 of 4 against our two x2 opponents. We should have the advantage at the faceoff x against both those teams since we seem to have the upper hand on Lasalla and ND replaces their two guys. Win the games we are supposed to win and that gets you to 9 wins right there. There may be some dark stretches as there is no breathing room with this schedule.I'll take the over on 5.5 but it's honestly not that far off. I'd have made the over/under 6.5.
The fact of the matter is, at this very moment, the Orange are betting underdogs in all of their ACC games. That will probably change at some point but for now it is what it is.
Underdogs: Virginia x2, Notre Dame x2, Duke, UNC, Maryland, Army
Slight favorites: Hopkins, Cornell
Clear favorites: Holy Cross, Hobart, Stony Brook, Albany
So that gets you to 6-8. The question is do they steal a game or two vs. the other teams without slipping up against the ones they're "supposed" to beat? I'd say that anything between 5 and 9 wins is defensible.
