George Washington vs Rhode Island Prediction
The Rhode Island Rams are stacked offensively and should be favored at home, where they’re 9-0 SU on the season. The George Washington Colonials are an above average side at both ends of the floor, and they’re winning games. The problem is, George Washington hasn’t been tested much this season until a game against Dayton, which the Colonials won outright as a nine-point underdog. Sure, that creates a possible let down spot here, but it also shows that George Washington can play with the big boys. I wouldn’t be so quick to write off George Washington in this matchup. Give me the points with the road dog.
