September
15 - Holy Cross - not sure about the Crusaders' chances now. Elis will get their first W here.
22 - Cornell - the Big Red are greatly improved (or slightly?). Close game, but Elis will still get the W.
29 - Maine - home opener for Yale this season. Elis will get win #3, but Black Bears will keep it close.
October
5 - Dartmouth - win #4.
13 - Mercer - will the scholarships and the tougher SOS of the Macon Bears' games played before this game put this game in their favor?
19 - Penn - no doubt about it... Elis will rebound.
27 - Columbia - tough game to call here. Toss-up.
November
3 - Brown - win no matter what
10 - Princeton - I'm afraid given the number of 2019 NFL Draft prospects the Tigers has, it may become well, another toss-up (depending on the injury situation of the Tigers by then)
17 - Harvard (Fenway Park) - can the Elis spoil the Fenway party of the Crimson? Who knows... Toss-up again.

Final predicted record - 8-2, 6-1 Ivy League
Based on this and your Harvard analysis, you really think Cornell will improve and really think Dartmouth will regress.
