\nJim’s pick: Neither team is coming off their best effort, so I’m going to go with Providence on home ice.
\nPC 4, BC 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Between home ice and BC’s eyebrow-raising 1-3-1 record, I’ve got to go with the Friars.
\nPC 3, BC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I’m not sure what to make of the Warriors to this point. And I think UMass is a little bit improved. So I’ll go with the host in this one.
\nUMass 4, MC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I may not have picked the Minutemen to win a single game last year. Not anymore.
\nUMass 3, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: There is a big question looming over this series: will it be about offense or defense? If it is run and gun, I like the Huskies. But not sure that will be the case on night one.
\nUML 3, NU 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: <\/strong>Unfortunately, Jim and I are agreeing on some tough games, and here’s another one. Lowell was too impressive last weekend, taking two games in the North Country, while Northeastern got swept.
\nUML 4, NU 2<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: On paper, this is pretty tough to pick. BU hasn’t had all perfect efforts, but my gut is they can get up for this game.
\nBU 4, DU 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Terriers have been too up-and-down to pick them in this tough matchup.
\nDU 4, BU 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Maine’s offense opened my eyes last weekend, but I’m not sure Miami was the opponent that UMD can be.
\nUMD 5, Maine 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Duluth hasn’t gotten off to a blazing start, but it still outclasses the Black Bears.
\nUMD 4, Maine 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Even on the road, I think UConn is a better team than Miami right now.
\nUC 3, Miami 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed. Home ice does make me nervous about this pick, but I do like the Huskies.
\nUC 3, Miami 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Back at Lawler Arena, I’ll go with the Warriors.
\nMC 3, UMass 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’m going with the Minutemen in a road upset, keeping the Warriors winless.
\nUMass 3, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Offense vs. defense, part II. I think this game will have more goal scoring, but I still think the River Hawks will prevail.
\nUML 5, NU 4<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The River Hawks have all the momentum. I think they take it on the road.
\nUML 4, NU 3 (OT)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: This could be two really quality wins for the Terriers, if they take care of business.
\nBU 3, PC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Providence has won its three games against teams with a collective 1-9-0 record, but lost to its two “strong” opponents. BU is a strong opponent.
\nBU 4, PC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: I really do like the way UNH is playing right now, so I’ll pick them even against what should be a very hungry Catamounts team.
\nUNH 4, UVM 3<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: This will be a really good test of the Wildcats even though Vermont has lost four of the last five. I think they pass.
\nUNH 3, UVM 2 (OT)<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: It’s strange to pick Boston College for a four-game losing streak, but I just think this weekend stacks up against the Eagles.
\nDU 5, BC 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: BC will get better as the year progresses, but right now Denver is clearly the best team.
\nDU 4, BC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: Road sweeps are tough but I think that the Bulldogs have what it takes.
\nUMD 4, Maine 2<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Agreed, Duluth is clearly the better team.
\nUMD 4, Maine 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nJim’s pick: See above re: road sweeps. I’m still picking it.
\nUConn 3, Miami 1<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Once again, Jim and I agree. UConn wins even on the road.
