Betting the Ivies; Picks for Saturday night's game

Here is Saturday's installment of betting the Ivies. Last night we were 2-1-1 with the best bet winning in a blowout.

Harvard -2 at Yale
Harvard has won three straight in the series and it didn't get tested last night. Look for Harvard to win this one in a war.
Pick: Harvard

Dartmouth at Brown -7
Dartmouth was a one-man show last night as Alex Mitola scored 27 in a blowout loss. The rest
of the Big Green will show up tonight and at least keep it close and they may win it
outright.
Pick: Dartmouth

Penn at Columbia - 7
Frankly the Lions are not playing well enough to give anyone 7.5 points.
Pick: Penn

Princeton -5.5 at Cornell
Another crucial game for the Tigers but they'll run into an angry Big Red team. Cornell keeps this one tight and may pull off the upset.
Pick: Cornell

Best bet: Dartmouth

Ohio State only team that can beat Kentucky; Saturday's NCAA picks

I went 3-1 on the blog yesterday. All 4 games weren't decided by the spread until the last minute but the only one that covered by the back door was Xavier.

You need some luck in the biz, dont ya?

Here's today's matchups and the spread.

Florida (-1) vs. Louisville at Phoenix
4:30 p.m.

Ohio State (-2.5) vs. Syracuse at Boston
7:05 p.m.

In a twist, both of the lower seeds are the faves today. In that case I'm going with Louisville in a classic coach-mentor battle and Ohio State which has looked solid thus far in the tournament and a I feel, the last team in the field that can beat Kentucky.
