George Washington vs Loyola-Chicago Prediction

George Washington hasn’t been much of a pushover this season and has recent road upsets over Davison and St. Bonaventure, so there’s a pathway toward the road dog. The problem is oddsmakers see the same thing and aren’t giving out a lot of points. I lean Loyola-Chicago at home where it’s 14-1 SU on the season. Loyola-Chicago is 4-0 SU and ATS in its last four games overall. Throw George Washington an extra point or two and I’d consider. A line this soft, I’ll take the Ramblers at home. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Loyola-Chicago -3.5
