Richmond vs. George Washington Prediction

I’m on the Revolutionaries here. This Richmond team just is not as potent as past Richmond teams and the offense has been dreadful and hard to watch far more often than not this season. The Revolutionaries have had some hiccups here and there, but the fact of the matter is that they’re the far better team in this game and they’re at home which I think will really play well for them here. I think the Spiders might be one of the worst teams in the A-10 this season and I think GW beats up on them in this one. Give me the Revolutionaries.
