Matt Rivers is without any debate the top college sports handicapper in the sports betting universe. So he is closely following Rivals.com and where guys like Keenan Allen, Christian Jones, Ego Ferguson, Seantrel Henderson, Corey Nelson, Corey Lemonier, Corey Cooper, Chaz Greeen, J.R. Ferguson and others are choosing on national signing day.
Rivers though owns the NCAA Basketball Odds as well and goes with George Mason -1 at Georgia Stat.
I have backed Georgia State a few times this season because I like them a lot when they are a decent sized dog. Rod Barnes is a former Ole Miss coach that is pretty good for this program and has his guys fighting until the end. But this price is a bit too cheap on Jim Larranaga's red hot Patriots.
I definitely do realize that Mason is a young team that is not close to being as rock solid as previous seasons, including the squad that advanced to the Final Four, but these guys are confident in this seven game winning streak making me hard pressed to see them actually lose today in Atlanta, which pretty much means a non-cover.
Georgia State did lose by only three in the first meeting and I do not expect a blowout at all today but Mason has been getting it done in the end unlike the 9-14 Panthers who are only 3-8 in the Colonial.
I do believe that Mason has overachieved a bit too much at 10-1 in-conference and are due for an egg but until that happens this price is too cheap to not make a small play. If this is the so-called "trap game", as it does seem a bit too easy and I fell for it, then so be it. I just think that the visitors prevail more times than they don't and therefore are a small bargain at this near pick-'em price
The pick: George Mason at Bodog
