UNC Asheville vs George Mason Prediction

We’ve seen the George Mason Patriots lose twice this season as favorites, so nothing would surprise me in this spot. However, George Mason is coming off its best showing yet with a win over James Madison, while the UNC Asheville Bulldogs haven’t played much defense this season and are getting beat up on the road left and right. It’s a thick line, but George Mason should be able to build on its last effort. Give me the Patriots in a blowout win on Tuesday.
