George Washington doesn’t have a player listed on its injury report. Jaylen Curry is questionable for UMass with a wrist injury. 

UMass vs George Washington Prediction

UMass has lost three straight games and has scored 68 or fewer points in all three of those games. I doubt things improve on the road. George Washington has been hit or miss lately, but still has 17 wins on the season and is 11-4 SU at home. This isn’t the same UMass team that beat George Washington a few weeks ago. UMass is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games. The favorite has covered four of the last five games between UMass and George Washington. I’ll lay the points with George Washington at home.

Randy Chambers's Pick: George Washington -6.5
