Why George Washington Will Beat Army 

• George Washington has won each of its last 10 night games against non-conference opponents at Charles E. Smith Center.
• Army has lost five of its last six road games.
• Army has lost the first half in four of its last five road games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Army vs George Washington Prediction 

George Washington comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they will be at home for this contest. Army has lost two of their last three games against D-1 opponents and they are allowing over 78 points per game. The Black Knights are scoring 83.9 points per game this season, but that defense is a big concern. I think George Washington’s defense will be the difference in this game and I like the Revolutionaries to pull away in the second half for the cover.
