Elon Phoenix vs George Washington Revolutionaries Predictions

George Washington's shooting drives the matchup

George Washington University Athletics reports that the Revolutionaries have posted a 60.4% effective field-goal percentage and made 45.8% of their 3-pointers through two games. That start helps explain why George Washington is favored by 14.5 points at home, but those rates come from a small sample.

George Washington beat Navy 91-39 and Hampton 75-61 to open 2-0. Jean Aranguren had 17 points and four assists against Hampton, while Dylan James added 15 points, nine rebounds, and four blocks. The Revolutionaries have also used their bench for 43.6% of available minutes.

Elon brings an unbeaten record

Elon is 2-0 after wins over Columbia and UNCG. Joshua Dalton is averaging 17.5 points and 5.5 rebounds, Bryson Cokley is scoring 12.0 points per game, and Raúl Villar is averaging 8.5 points and 6.0 assists.

Those numbers show where Elon's early production has come from, but the available information doesn't include confirmed starters or injuries for either team. There also isn't enough matchup evidence to determine whether Elon can cover or George Washington can win by 15.

Betting prediction

George Washington is the likely winner, but its -1600 moneyline offers little return. The Revolutionaries' -14.5 spread and the 148.5 total require assumptions that two games of results can't support. Pass on this matchup.
