This is an 8* BLOWOUT on George Washington.

While we won't be so bold as to call for an outright upset, we do feel that the home side can keep this one a lot more competitive than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. No. 9 Virginia comes to town and the Smith Center will have a WHITE OUT going on as rabid fans get ready for this nationally televised game. This is a revenge game for GW after it fell 59-42 on November 21st last year. The Colonials are coming in off an 85-76 win over Lafayette on Friday, keep your eyes on Tyler Cavanaugh and Kevin Larsen, who combined for 39 points and 28 boards. George Washington is facing a difficult non-conference slate, having beaten 2015 NCAA Tournament participant Lafayette before facing UVA, then heading to South Florida on Thursday. GW also has games vs. Tennessee and Cincinnati or Nebraska in the Barclays Center Classic, and home dates with Seton Hall, Penn State and Rutgers in December, in addition to road dates with DePaul and UCF. Suffice it to say, a win today vs. a ranked opponent would obviously be huge for the home side. Note that Virginia is 1-2 ATS in its last three after scoring 80 points or more, while GW is 13-8 ATS in its last 21 non-conference games and 3-1 ATS in its last four vs. the ACC. Play on the COLONIALS.
