Bentley (+14.5) at Kutztown - Thought they did away with the bye in Round 1? This will be ugly. Bears win, 49-7.
Assumption (+3.5) at IUP - Back to the PSAC for Assumption. However, they aren't playing a team that quit this week. Dorothy isn't in West Chester anymore.
California (+5.5) at Virginia Union - Strange group of Viet Mon.
Frostburg State (+7.5) at Johnson C. Smith - JCS has a bit too much.
Harvard at Yale (+3.5) - Winner gets Pat Narduzzi.
USC (+9.5) at Oregon - The boys from Troy win one for O.J.
Rutgers (+34.5) at Ohio State - This has a 55-7 vibe.
Crown College (+6.5) at Wheaton - Brutal place for visitors.
Chapman (+6.5) at Whitworth - Lock Haven would hammer both.
Bonus
1) This PSAC team will score the fewest points: VIET MON
2) Combined scores, this game featuring a PSAC team will have the most combined points scored: Assumption at IUP
3) The (3) PSAC teams, combined, will score over or under 81.5 points: OVER (barely)
Bentley (+14.5) at Kutztown - KU wallops the other allegedly good team from the NE-10
Assumption (+3.5) at IUP - It's an imperfect system but Massey sees Assumption as the 13th best team in this Super Region. IUP is just ahead of JCSU for second. I expect Assumption to take another beating against a PSAC Championship game participant.
California (+5.5) at Virginia Union - This might be the best game of the opening round. If the spread was a point higher I'd probably pick the Vulcans for the cover.
Frostburg State (+7.5) at Johnson C. Smith - Frosty finally finds their way into the playoffs only to run into the rare CIAA team that's probably actually as good as its record. Better luck next time.
Harvard at Yale (+3.5) - These Ivy League games have been burning me all season. Hopefully Harvard are road warriors who can break that trend.
USC (+9.5) at Oregon - Oregon's only blemish is against a very good Indiana team but 10 points is a lot to ask for against another good team.
Rutgers (+34.5) at Ohio State - The spread is just too big. Ohio State is good but they're more likely to scuffle for a half and then choke Rutgers out with a 21-24 point differential in the second than rack up a five-score victory.
Crown College (+6.5) at Wheaton - Sometimes I don't even bother looking these D3 teams up to see if they really exist and just flip a coin.
Chapman (+6.5) at Whitworth
Bonus
1) This PSAC team will score the fewest points: Cal, if only by default.
2) Combined scores, this game featuring a PSAC team will have the most combined points scored: Bentley @ Kutztown
3) The (3) PSAC teams, combined, will score over or under 81.5 points: Over

Don't forget to complete Bonus 3.
Regarding the Ivy games ... No doubt. Wild league and hard to bet. Most get crushed on the Ivy games.
