Trends
George Mason is 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following an ATS win. George Washington is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 home games.
Pick
I’ll back George Mason here. The reality is that while George Washington is at home here, the Colonials have struggled defensively, giving up 87.8 PPG in their last 5 games. George Mason’s only being outscored by 3 PPG in their last 5 but I think the fact that they’re not giving up as much defensively could end up being the difference here, even on the road. Give me the Patriots and the points.
