Kansas City vs George Mason Prediction
I’m not thrilled to lay this many points this early in the season when guys are still getting their feet under them. This is also an early start, which usually leads to sloppy, sluggish play. However, Kansas City looked bad in its game as an underdog against Jacksonville, losing by 18 points as a 3.5-point underdog. George Mason looks fantastic through two games on the defneive end holding both teams in the 50s.
George Mason is currently third in points allowed per game and 13th in defensive field goal percentage. The offense still needs to pick up, but the defensive pressure is real. If that’s sustainable, George Mason should win comfortably. KC doesn’t want to see this sort of pressure this early in the afternoon. I’ll lay the points with George Mason on Thursday.
