George Washington vs Utah Valley Prediction


Utah Valley hasn’t covered numbers this season and actually hasn’t cashed a ticket in nearly a month. However, the line is so soft, you’re basically just asking Utah Valley to win this game outright. Utah Valley is the better defensive side and can score the ball enough to keep up with an above-average George Washington offense. George Washington has had issues on the road this season and there have been games where the defense doesn’t show up at all. Utah Valley should be up for this game, as it doesn’t get these spotlight moments often. I’ll lay the bucket.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Utah Valley -2.5
