Duluth swept all four games. The last time out, Denver tied and lost to North Dakota, and North Dakota won the three-on-three OT games. Hmmm. <strong>Denver 2-1, North Dakota 4-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:<\/strong> I&#8217;m having difficulty seeing Denver not only lose four straight but also not get a win from their regular season series with UND. I&#8217;ll call this a split, and probably get it wrong somehow. <strong>Denver 3-2, North Dakota 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Western Michigan at Miami<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> I think Miami is a scrappy team. They don&#8217;t go away. However, Western has looked fierce over the last four weeks, and I think the Broncos will sweep. <strong>Western Michigan 4-2, 5-2<\/strong><br \/>\nMatthew: Western has been less than amazing away from home this season, but after the Broncos just about scored for fun last weekend at home against RPI, I like WMU to get two more wins here. <strong>Western Michigan 3-1, 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, Feb. 14, Monday, Feb. 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colorado College versus Air Force (home-and-home)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> If Air Force had been any more consistent over the last month, I&#8217;d pick them to sleep, but the Falcons are on an 0-4-1 skid. Monday&#8217;s game is outdoors in Falcon Stadium, and should have an exciting atmosphere. I&#8217;m going splitsville. <strong>Colorado College 3-2, Air Force 3-1<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:<\/strong> I usually take the home teams with home-and-home series, and that might be slightly dangerous given how CC&#8217;s season has gone, but I have appearances to maintain. <strong>Colorado College 3-1, Air Force 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend, I came as close to perfect as I could without getting it, going 5-0-1 (.916), while Matthew was 4-1-1 (.750.
