Was there a more pathetic performance last weekend than my picks? I’ll give you Kyle Williams and Billy Cundiff but can you name a third?<\/p>\n

I didn’t think so.<\/p>\n

Dave last week:<\/strong> 4-6-0
\nJim last week:<\/strong> 5-5-0
\nDave’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 79-53-13
\nJim’s record-to-date:<\/strong> 76-56-13<\/p>\n

Here are this week’s picks:<\/p>\n

Friday, January 27<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Boston University<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Terriers take the first of two huge steps toward a regular-season title.
\nBU 4, Maine 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: We’ll see this weekend if BU is the dominant team it was against Providence last weekend.
\nBU 4, Maine 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Vermont<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Huskies stop their losing skid at four, dropping the Catamounts to a 2-14-1 league record.
\nNU 4, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Have to agree with Dave. At least on the first night, I think this is NU’s game.
\nNU 3, UVM 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts-Lowell at Massachusetts<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: I’d look to for the River Hawks to avenge their Tuesday loss to Providence if not for one thing: the Minutemen are the only Hockey East team still undefeated at home. UMass makes it 9-0-3 at the Mullins Center.
\nUMass 3, UML 2 (OT)<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Mullins Center continues to be the dominant home for the Minutemen.
\nUMass 4, UML 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Hampshire at Boston College<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Will one of these disappointing clubs turn it around and have a stretch run befitting its reputation? Will both?  Neither? Color me confused when it comes to these two, so I’m going for home ice.
\nBC 4, UNH 3<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I’m with Dave. Six weeks ago, this was a slam dunk for BC. Now I have no clue.
\nBC 3, UNH 2 (OT)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, January 28<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maine at Boston University<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Note to Maine fans – this is not a condemnation of your team; it’s an endorsement of BU.
\nBU 4, Maine 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Here is where I will differ. I have this feeling that Maine can pull one out on the road.
\nMaine 4, BU 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northeastern at Vermont<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: The Huskies pound a very big nail into Vermont’s playoff coffin.
\nNU 4, UVM 2<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: Again, I think Vermont can take two points at home.
\nUVM 4, NU 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Massachusetts at Massachusetts-Lowell<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: After the Minutemen play like Supermen at home, they hop on the bus to Kryptonite Arena.
\nUML 4, UMass 1<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: As good as UMass is at home, the road has not been kind.
\nUML 3, UMass 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston College at New Hampshire<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: Both teams could really use a sweep to launch their stretch drive, but they’ll have to be satisfied with a home-ice split.
\nUNH 4, BC 3<\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: This is the defining weekend for BC, in my mind.
\nBC 5, UNH 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, January 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence at Merrimack<\/strong>
\nDave’s pick: This isn’t a home ice pick. Despite their reputation, the Warriors are 6-3-2 at home and 6-2-2 on the road. It’s just a Merrimack pick, plain and simple.
\nMerrimack 4, Providence 2<\/strong><\/strong>
\nJim’s pick: I know it was weeks ago, but for some reason I fell like Providence has Merrimack’s number this year.
\nPC 3, Merrimack 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
