Coppin State is 19-9-2 ATS in their last 30 road games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. George Washington is 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I’m leaning towards George Washington here. The Colonials have a decisive edge in the defensive side of the floor and while Coppin State has a decent offense, GW is more consistent with hitting their shots and I just don’t know where the stops for Coppin State come if they do. Give me the Colonials laying the points.
