George Washington Revolutionaries vs. Dayton Flyers Prediction

I’m on George Washington here. I just think that this is an even matchup, so to get more than a possession here with a GW team that still has a solid offense and can put points up in bunches. It wouldn’t surprise me if Dayton won this game, but I think this is a game that comes down to the wire and I think that GW covers at the very least. Give me George Washington and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: George Washington +2.5
