Dave remains in the witness protection program and now trails me in both the wins column and in winning percentage. Going to take a second-half rally (that and a return to society) for him to be the winner this year.<\/p>\n

Dave last week:<\/strong> Did not pick
\nJim last week:<\/strong> 4-2-1
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 49-21-18 (.659)
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 53-17-16 (.709)<\/p>\n

Here are this week’s picks:<\/p>\n

Friday, January 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence at BC<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: It’s been an impressive year for the Friars thus far but BC, with its World Junior players back, should win this one.
\nBC 5, PC 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at UMass<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Both of these teams were beginning to look decent heading into break. I think home ice will be the deciding factor.
\nUMass 3, NU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts-Lowell at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Lowell is picking the wrong time to play a UNH team ticked off at its loss to St. Lawrence.
\nUNH 6, UML 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, January 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at Providence<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Eagles finish the sweep on the road.
\nBC 3, PC 2 (OT)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Merrimack<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Promised I wouldn’t pick against Merrimack at home until they lost. Well, they did just that against NU and now, suddenly, I’m picking against the Warriors again.
\nMaine 4, MC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Massachusetts<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Even though UMass often gives UNH fits, I’m going with the Wildcats in this one.
\nUNH 4, UMass 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts-Lowell at Northeastern<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Huskies get back in the win column
\nNU 5, UML 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, January 9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University at Vermont<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: It’s about time for BU to begin its rebound from its holiday tournament letdown.
\nBU 3, UVM 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday, January 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston University at Merrimack<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Here’s my upset pick of the week, even if the upset is a minor one.
\nMC 4, BU 3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
