\nDave last week:<\/strong> 5-4-1
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 35-21-7
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 37-19-7<\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Despite Vermont typically playing well at BU, the Terriers are playing well enough right now I have to pick them,
\nBU 4, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Jim is more optimistic about the Catamounts than I am. Their results are 1-5-1 without a single one-goal loss. The goal differential in the losses: 24-6. Nuff said.
\nBU 5, UVM 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Interesting to see how the Friars do on the road, but they are the hotter hand and will get my pick.
\nPC 5, NU 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Huskies’ early-season win over UNH is looking awfully fluky now. At 1-7-2, it’s hard to go with them even at home.
\nPC 4, NU 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Not typical that UMass would ever be my pick over Maine, but at home and taking into account the Black Bears struggles, I’m going Minutemen
\nUMass 3, Maine 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed. Perhaps the Black Bears rise up after getting swept at home, but I’m believing in the resurgent Minutemen until proven otherwise.
\nUMass 4, Maine 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: My gut says Lowell, my brain says UNH. For some reason, I’m following my brain.
\nUNH 4, UML 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I was thinking Jim would go with his gut over his brain. After all, his gut is much larger. I’m also going with UNH at home in the week’s most fascinating match-up.
\nUNH 4, UML 3<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: The battle of the Catholics goes to a fired up home team.
\nND 3, BC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I may be a Hockey East homer, but Notre Dame can’t call Hockey East home. Not yet.
\nBC 3, ND 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Wound up with egg on my face picking UNH in this exact matchup on opening night. Lesson learned?
\nUNH 5, BU 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Jim may not have learned his lesson, but I have. Not that I doubt UNH, but I like the way BU has played of late.
\nBU4, UNH 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Both teams are desperate for a win. I’m betting on home ice here
\nNU 3, UVM 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’ll agree with Jim on the desperation, but I don’t think it’s just home ice. I think the Huskies are simply playing the better hockey of the two.
\nNU 4, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Battle of sister schools goes to the smaller.
\nUML 5, UMass 2 <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Both teams entered the weekend with three-game winning streaks, but I like the River Hawks’ overall performances better.
\nUML 4, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Right opponent for a win for UVM? Not sure, but worth the pick at home.
\nUVM 4, UMass 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Home or away, I’ve got to see more from UVM before I start picking the Cats.
\nUMass 4, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Wildcats consistency can be questioned, but against Harvard? C’mon.
\nUNH 5, HU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Wildcats haven’t lost since opening the season 0-4. A no-brainer.
\nUNH 5, HU 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: This one shouldn’t be close.
\nMC 5, UAH 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Chargers’ plight in their final season isn’t as hopeless as the Indianapolis Colts’, but the results aren’t much different.
\nMC 6, UAH 1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
