That which I receive, I giveth back. Very useless week for me.<\/p>\n

\n

Jim last week:<\/strong> 6-4-0
\nDave last week:<\/strong> 8-2-0
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 29-20-2
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 33-16-2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here are this week’s picks:<\/p>\n

Friday, Nov. 16<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merrimack at Boston College <\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Let’s keep this simple… I’m not betting against BC right now.
\nBC 4, MC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed 100 percent. I won’t even think<\/em> about picking against BC for another couple of weeks. (Hint: a home-and-home with BU.)
\nBC 4, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts at Maine<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: As good as I feel about UMass, I also think Maine gained some confidence, so I’ll go with the Black Bears.
\nMaine 3, UMass 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’m not overjoyed about going with UMass on the road, but Maine needs to win more than just one game to convince me.
\nUMass 2, Maine 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Providence<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Two wins for the Huskies are a good sign, but I’m taking the home team.
\nPC 3, NU 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: If Northeastern’s two wins last weekend had been over a more formidable foe than Alabama-Huntville, I might be picking differently.
\nPC 3, NU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Massachusetts-Lowell<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Lowell has been a good home team in the last couple of years, but UNH seems like the read deal.
\nUNH 5, UML 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I don’t think it’ll be that <\/em>easy for the Wildcats, but they will win.
\nUNH 4, UML 2 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University at Vermont<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I love the way Vermont is playing but also not picking against BU right now. Solid team.
\nBU 3, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed.  For now, I see BU as the third of the league’s top three teams, but that’s enough to defeat the Catamounts even on the road.
\nBU 4, UVM 2 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, Nov. 18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Vermont<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I think Northeastern will be hungry, but the Cats will be as well at home.
\nUVM 4, NU 2 <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I agonized over this pick and fear I’m going with way<\/em> too many road teams this week, but I’m still going with the Huskies.
\nNU 3, UVM 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Boston University <\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: There are a lot of difficult picks this weekend, but I think this is the toughest by far. I’m actually going with UNH by a single goal (could be OT).
\nUNH 4, BU 3 <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Until proven otherwise, I see UNH as the league’s second best team.  (Ummm, if you have to ask who I’m pegging as number one, you ain’t been paying attention.)
\nUNH 3, BU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts-Lowell at Massachusetts <\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I really want to pick UMass at home but also think Lowell can get up for this game.
\nUML 4, UMass 2 <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Do the River Hawks start playing like the team we thought they’d be way back in the preseason? If so, when? Right now, there are more questions than answers.
\nUML 2, UMass 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tues., Nov. 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont at Massachusetts <\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Think home ice could be the deciding factor in this game.
\nUMass 3, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Catamount fans may be wondering when I’m ever going to pick for their team. Call it a hangover from last season.
\nUMass 3, UVM 1 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Quinnipiac at Providence <\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Good measuring stick for the ECAC here. I’d like to think Hockey East is better.
\nPC 5, QU 2 <\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Believe it or not, Hockey East currently stands 1-3 against the ECAC. Granted, all three losses can be laid on Maine’s doorstep (much like a cat leaving a dead mouse), but I wouldn’t be surprised if the good guys fall to 1-4.
\nQU 3, PC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
