[Powellfan]

0-1 on the week already due to Towson.

Cornell -2 over Ohio State - Face-offs give me pause, but the Big Red offense looks very good, and I just don't think Ohio State is at the level to keep it close against good teams.
Maryland +2 vs Notre Dame - I am probably overreacting to last weeks results, but with their goalie and face-off play I think Maryland can keep it close vs most anybody. Only concern is the Maryland offense, but I think they score enough to at least stay within two.
Syracuse -8 over High Point: The short rest and emotional baggage of the Army game gives me pause but I think SU can still score a ton of points on the Panthers.

This ACC-Ivy League challenge between Duke, UNC, Penn and Princeton is pretty cool, seems like good practice for a Final Four. All teams playing Friday then Sunday. Feels like more teams should start doing something like this.

Oh I forgot so if I took Duke so take BU out cause Duke started

 

[AD31]

Penn is playing physical and keeping constant pressure on Duke. Has Duke all rattled right now. I took Duke on here but would love to see them lose this game.

Penn +7 vs ND
Richmond -10 vs Binghamton
ND -2 vs Maryland
Army -6 vs Lafayette

I'm 1 for 1 after the Penn game. I see I typed in "ND" instead of Duke by mistake - I'm assuming I'm ok

Yeah.. that’s what I thought you meant

 

[AD31]

I know just hate them

 

[DMVCuseLax]

I know just hate them

Both of these loses are bad for us

 

[JeremyCuse]

Both of these loses are bad for us

Yup not good, though both will likely go on runs

 

[JOC44]

Wagner +5
Syracuse -8
ND -2
Michigan -1.5

 

[Laxfanshutt]

Here Sundays additional two games if anybody wants them

 

[OttosDad]

Utah +1.5
Fairfield +1.5
Harvard -6.5
Bucknell -6

 

[Powellfan]

I’ll swap out Maryland -2 for Penn -1.5. That line does not make sense to me.

 

[Zack80]

Perhaps, although Syracuse is directly competing with Duke and ND for the 8 at-large spots to the NCAA tmt.

Going into the season with ND and Duke being ranked #1 and #2, it looked like a sure thing that they would garner at large spots. With ND and Duke losing to Georgetown and Penn, respectively, it looks less sure.
To put it another way, if one of ND or Duke struggled and allowed Syracuse to move into the 3rd spot in the ACC, it could be a good thing.
