George Mason Patriots vs Villanova Wildcats Point Spread Picks

Villanova opened the season looking like they were ready to elevate to a Final Four contender. The Wildcats were 16-1 until they went to UConn and were bitten late by a Kemba Walker jumper. It has been a steep downward fall for this team since that 16-1 start. The Wildcats have followed by going 5-10, losing their last five. George Mason has grown with the season and peaking at the right time. The Patriots are the inverse of Villanova at 16-1 in their last 17. Nova continues to be overrated and are a dismal 1-12 ATS in their last 13 games, while the Patriots enter at 10-1 ATS in their last 11 against a winning team. George Mason has an NCAA Tourney pedigree, so I'll play on George Mason to cover.
