    • 6.8-point SRS edge for Princeton (-19.9 vs Cornell -26.7), plus home field.
    • Princeton's recent defensive EPA allowed is -0.0292 per play versus Cornell's +0.0717.
    • Cornell's recent offense leads slightly in EPA (0.1276 to 0.119), success rate (49.3% to 45.6%), and explosiveness (14.0% to 10.7%).
    Picks With Pink Grading System
    • SRS rates Princeton -19.9 versus Cornell -26.7: a 6.8-point Princeton advantage.
    • Normal-margin estimate: 6.8-point mean divided by 14.62 pooled SD from ten 2026 margins gives 67.9%.
    • Expected, not confirmed, lineups; the game-specific injury feed returned no designations.
    BETALAB 6.0
    • Princeton SRS is -19.9 versus Cornell -26.7, a 6.8-point rating gap, with Princeton at home.
    • Princeton’s recent defensive EPA allowed is -0.0292/play versus Cornell’s +0.0717; team grades are 90.7 versus 88.4.
    • Both lineups are expected with null observed_at; Ivy/FCS has no official injury feed, so quarterback and late-availability risk remain unresolved.

      Why it likes it
      • I project roughly 46.5 points after weighting Princeton's defense and low-scoring recent games against Cornell's explosive offense.

      • Princeton allowed 14.3 points per game across six; Cornell's 2026 offense is strong, but its recent shootouts create a noisy over signal.
      • Cornell's six-game totals average 60.7, and its offense has produced 48, 38, 35, and 31 points in four recent games.
