James Madison at George Washington

Karl Hobs put this program back on the map while D.C. rival Georgetown was down for a few years. Georgetown became a top team again, and Hobbs had trouble battling them for players, in the end that cost him his job. The Colonels are still a long way away from being viable in the A-10 again and have started a dismal 4-6, and certainly the resume of wins is not eye-opening. James Madison has enough pieces left from a 21-win team a year ago to start 5-3 on the season and has a notable win vs. Penn. The Dukes have stepped-up as a small to mid-sized dog of less than +7 to post a 9-3 ATS mark in their last 12. George Washington is amongst the nation's worst teams in non-conference games at 11-38-3 ATS in their last 52. Play on James Madison.
