On the year, I am 76-52-21 while Matthew is 62-66-21.<\/p>\n<p>Again, not all teams are in action, but we have some intriguing matchups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feb. 10-11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Colorado College vs. No. 2 Denver (home-and-home)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> CC got its first win of the year at home two weeks ago against North Dakota, thanks in part to the play of goalie Alex Leclerc, but I think Denver has more offensive weapons and should get the sweep, particularly if Troy Terry is back in the lineup. <strong>Denver 4-2, 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:<\/strong> CC has played better lately and they&#8217;re rested after having last weekend off. Home teams win. <strong>Denver 4-2, Colorado College 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Miami at St. Cloud State<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> Can St. Cloud move above .500? The Huskies will be gunning for revenge, since Miami swept them last month in Oxford. I think I could flip a coin and do better than prognosticating this one. <strong>St. Cloud State 3-1, 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:<\/strong> SCSU needs to make these home games count against a Miami team four games under .500 on the road. <strong>St. Cloud State 3-1, 3-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No. 8 Western Michigan at Omaha<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Candace:<\/strong> It says something about how good Western has been playing that if feels like they are struggling a bit but they&#8217;ve gone 7-2-1 in 2017. Perhaps it&#8217;s just the tie with Arizona State and the loss to Miami. Regardless, Western is a strong team. They&#8217;ve been playing at home mostly though. Their last two road series have been splits. That seems likely again. <strong>Western Michigan 2-1, Omaha 3-2<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:<\/strong> UNO needs to get a move on if it&#8217;s going to lock up a NCAA tournament spot. Western isn&#8217;t great on the road, but I think the Broncos will get something here. <strong>Western Michigan 3-1, Omaha 3-1<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My inability to get a bead on North Dakota cost me a game against Matthew in our picks race last week, but I still have a sizeable lead.
