Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has a sports pick Wednesday on George Washington (+16) at Duquesne.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: I will give this Duquesne team a ton of credit for being\u00a0completely dominant\u00a0of late, as they have blown up in a great way. The Dukes are legit and probably deserve a top 25 ranking and as of right now are an at-large tournament team.\u00a0They\u2019re 15-5 overall and a perfect 7-0 in the A-10. Bill Clark, Damien Saunders and the rest of the Dukes have been smacking around all comers of late and should be an extremely confident team. Tonight at home they will improve to 8-0 in conference but at some point this somewhat overachieving run will have to come to an end.<\/p>\n

Duquesne is not really 10 straight win good\u00a0or beating Temple easily good, which they did,\u00a0and right now are a tad overvalued because of this recent run. George Washington is extremely mediocre and not the team that can go on the road and win in a spot such as this one but the Colonials have been very good defensively and have been playing games in the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s on a regular basis. I don\u2019t expect that here but if they can only allow about 20 points more than normal, which is a ton,\u00a0and keep the Dukes in possibly\u00a0the 70\u2019s I don\u2019t see why the visitors can\u2019t stay within single digits, no less this gaudy\u00a0number.<\/p>\n

GW has allowed 46, 81, 62, 68, 67, 52, 71, 67, 50 and 57 over the past few weeks. I\u2019m not saying these guys are a lockdown team that is great but Karl Hobbs has been preaching the d and if they can even do a little bit of defending today then this\u00a0low post is going to prove to be way too large.<\/p>\n

It will be a 78-68 final!<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: George Washington<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>Not only is the biggest play I possess and a bomb dropping 500,000* covering the solid underdog number tonight but they are also winning outright and I\u2019m putting my money where my mouth is.<\/p>\n

500,000* Underdog Lock of my Life plus a 200,000* on the moneyline with that exact same dog and another 200,000* winner. I have never in my entire career released any one\u00a0play in any sport for this much, as in ever! Yes that\u2019s right 700,000* on the line in this one 9:00 game including calling for the outright and giving away a third winner as well. Today is the day!
