90-100% chance
Dartmouth by 42 over Brown (45-3)
60-70% chance
Colgate by 3.5 over Army (21-17.5) OK, the PL champion gets some respect 
Boston College by 3 over Florida State (31-28)
Holy Cross by 11 over Georgetown (28-17)
Harvard by 7 over Yale (31-24)
Lafayette by 10 over Lehigh (31-21)
Rhode Island by 1 over New Hampshire (24-24 virtual toss-up)
50-60% chance
Bucknell by 1 over Fordham (21-21 virtual toss-up)

Some random thoughts:
I think our game at Georgetown could be closer than 11, but perhaps HC will come back strong after being scared by Fordham at home last weekend.
I am not sure how big an advantage Fordham has on their home field, but I also don't know if Bucknell has the QB who beat HC back yet.
Having Lehigh and Lafayette in what promises to be a tight game is good for that rivalry (what HC/BC once was). The 10 points here is the biggest spread I have seen.
Seeing Colgate picked over Army at West Point was a surprise, but it does show Colgate getting some respect in their final game before the FCS playoffs.

RGS318 - agree on your sentiments but would add
A bit surprised to see Colgate favored over Army …
8-2 Army's played a pretty soft schedule this year but their very close loss to #5 Oklahoma (28-21 in OT), close win over Air Force (17-14), and big win over a good Buffalo team (42-13) tell me they'll beat Colgate pretty comfortably.
None of the 9 W's on Colgate's record strike me as particularly impressive - biggest win was over a struggling UNH who now sit at 4-6.
No doubt a Colgate win would elevate their regular season performance (especially considering their stingy defense) to one of the best ever by a PL team.

The Fordham - Bucknell game is in Lewisburg
Interesting that Colgate rested their qb 'Brenneman' on Saturday, but he'll be back vs. Army and the playoffs
