Cornell at Harvard

Cornell is a much better team than people realize in the Ivy. This team is 4th in the conference and .500 as well in the conference - which is not that bad considering the upsets that have happened. They did lose to Brown at home, which is a bit concerning but Brown is 5th in the conference and had a revenge game as they lost one at home, so it's understandable. Cornell did lose 3 in a row after beating Brown, but those games were to Yale, Princeton and Penn, which were all tops in the Ivy. Keep in mind when playing bottom ranked teams in the Ivy this team has been solid including beating Columbia on the road, a rising Dartmouth team at home and Harvard at home as well. Harvard is on a fast decline. They have now lost their last 7 in a row including losing to Brown - 5th in the Ivy by 13 at home, losing to Yale by 11 - a team that Cornell beat at home, losing to Penn - which is understandable in DD and losing to Princeton in a tight one as well. The last time these two teams hooked up, Cornell got the edge by 2 at home and Harvard looks for the revenge game here. However, Harvard has been spirling down and Cornell has been playing better. I remember when the standings in this conference was on opposite spectrums when Harvard was on top and Cornell was on bottom. Through the course of the season, this has shifted and I think the trend continues here as I beleive the points are valuable in this matchup and I think Cornell has a solid shot of winning this outright. Harvard will play tough I beleive, but their play of late losing 4 in a row at home, shows that it's quite possible that even worse teams than Cornell have won, so I wouldn't be shocked if Cornell wins this outright. Three stars on Cornell plus the points.
