Jim and I finally<\/em> put together an excellent week. Let’s see if we can make it two in a row.<\/p>\n

Dave last week:<\/strong> 10-1-0
\nJim last week:<\/strong> 10-1-0
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 94-58-13
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 91-61-13<\/p>\n

Here are this week’s picks:<\/p>\n

Friday, February 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Providence<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Two teams going in different directions. The Black Bears extend their winning streak to seven while administering  a fourth straight loss to the Friars.
\nMaine 4, PC 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Have to agree. Things just aren’t going well for the Friars and that continues.
\nMaine 4, PC 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Huskies’ performance at the Garden is stuck in my brain like a Bee Gees song from the eighties.
\nUNH 4, NU2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Things have to dramatically change from Monday for NU. While I believe it will, I still think UNH wins.
\nUNH 3, NU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts at Boston University<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: On paper, this shouldn’t even be close. The Minutemen will score first, then it will be all over.
\nBU 4, UMass 1<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: UMass, road, loss. That sums it up
\nBU 3, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merrimack at Massachusetts-Lowell<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Merrimack has actually been better on the road this year than at home, but I’m still going with home ice as the deciding factor. The River Hawks go to 10-1 at the Tsongas.
\nUML 4, MC 3 (OT)<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: This is the one Merrimack Valley has been waiting for. I agree with Dave: this game will give fans what they hope.
\nUML 4, MC 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at Vermont<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Do the Eagles fall for the ultimate pre-Beanpot championship trap game?  I think not.
\nBC 5, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Not sure this game is even as close as Dave has it.
\nBC 6, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, February 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence at Massachusetts <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’m basing this strictly on home ice.  The struggling Minutemen remain winless on the road but are 8-2-3 at home; the struggling Friars are 2-6-0 away from Schneider Arena.
\nUMass 3, PC 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: As good as UMass has been at home, I think Providence can and will win.
\nPC 4, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Merrimack<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The upset special really tempts me, but I’ll stick with Merrimack.
\nMC 3, UNH 2 (OT)<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: This is the toughest game to pick this weekend. I should go against Dave just to try to gain a game, but I will go with my gut.
\nMC 2, UNH 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Massachusetts-Lowell<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Maine used to have Lowell’s number, but I’m sticking with the River Hawks and home ice. Barely.
\nUML 4, Maine 3 (OT)<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Okay, so maybe THIS is the toughest game to pick. I really think Maine is out for blood and a difficult two-game weekend is a bit much for Lowell.
\nMaine 4, UML 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, February 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harvard vs Northeastern (Beanpot conso)<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: When the puck drops at 4:32, will the sound be audible high up in the press box? I wouldn’t bet against it.
\nNU 4, HU 3 (Real answer: who cares?)<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: If Harvard plays like it did last week, it wins.
\nHU 4, NU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University vs Boston College<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: This game by itself should have more intensity and fan appeal than all the other three Beanpot contests put together.
\nBU 4, BC 3 (OT)<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Is BC ready for a Beanpot three-peat? I think so.
\nBC 5, BU 3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
