Central Florida Knights at George Washington Colonials Prediction
Situational betting is paramount and this is the perfect case for a classic overreaction. The Knights opened as a favorite not by mistake but by virtue of the fact this team has plays a more robust and physical brand of basketball. Nevertheless, as direct result of public perception and recent results, UCF has moved from a favorite to an underdog and this can be a most favorable position for any UCF takers. This phenomenon can be blamed on the Knights losing recently at home against Penn where they were beat by nine points despite spotting double-digit points to the Quakers. Before this, the Knights had won five in a row and as a result the price was due to eventually be a bit steep. Overall UCF had won eight of nine with their only shortcoming at the hands of a then #1 and undefeated defending champion Villanova. On a side note, UCF covered impeccably in the aforementioned contest. Against Pennsylvania, the Knights had their worst shooting performance of the 2016-17 campaign. George Washington’s shooting was marvelous against Temple and Harvard which on paper were their most impressive victories. UCF will force GWU’s hand and there will be no concessions given to aid their shooting. If this contest is played on the Knights’ terms it can actually get ugly very quick for the Colonials.
