Meanwhile, the Colonials are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 on Saturday and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 road games. George Washington is 6-0 ATS in the last six overall.
PICK: I’m going to stay with Dayton here. The Flyers have looked pretty good during this 8-2 run. They’ve hit 68 or more points in seven of their eight wins in that time so the offense is clicking nicely. The last time these teams met up back on January 8, Dayton put up a dominant 83-58 road win. George Washington is looking better these days so this rematch likely won’t be such a blowout. That said I still like Dayton to power out the cover.
