- Notre Dame -1.5 vs. Ohio State May 11
- Pick: Notre Dame -1.5
- Why: The Irish are unseeded favorites for a reason. Ohio State will be a massive public darling, but the sharper side is on ND to win by multiple goals. House always wins.
- Georgetown +2 vs. Duke May 10
- Pick: Georgetown +2
- Why: Expect a defensive slugfest. Duke’s star power is real, but so is the Hoyas. Georgetown is gritty, physical, and experienced — this will be a one-goal game either way.
- Syracuse vs. Harvard – Over 25.5 Goals May 11
- Pick: Over 25.5
- Why: This game screams shootout. Spallina and the Orange want to run, and Harvard can score in transition. A 15–13 / 16-14 final is very much in play.
- North Carolina vs. Richmond – Under 21.5 Goals May 10
- Pick: Under 21.5
- Why: Richmond’s defense is built to frustrate and slow the game down. UNC has struggled to find scoring consistency at times. This feels like a grind-it-out 9–8 type game.
- Penn State -3.5 vs. Colgate May 10
- Pick: Penn State -3.5
- Why: Jack Fracyon in goal, playoff-tested veterans, and a physical defense. Colgate’s run ends here — Penn State has the firepower and balance to cover comfortably.
