These two non-conference rivals play annually, even though the series had to take a break last year due to COVID-19. George Mason has flat-out dominated James Madison for a long time, winning 14 of the previous 15 head-to-head meetings. Although the players who will be involved on Friday had nothing to do with most of the earlier meetings, I still think George Mason is the better side here in what is almost a pick 'em spot. The Patriots are riding high off of a win over Maryland and have faced better competition overall.

Play George Mason!
