🏀 George Mason vs. VCU ATS prediction & best player prop bet pick
Here's why I'm betting on George Mason to cover the spread (+8.5) while targeting Under 127.5 as my best game prop bet pick for today:
✅ George Mason to cover the spread (+8.5) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
VCU has been the better team against the spread this season (20-12 compared to George Mason's 16-17 ATS).
However, VCU only beat Loyola by seven points as 9.5-point favorites in the semifinal. George Mason, who ranks among the top 25 teams in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency, according to Torvik and KenPom, should prove to be a more challenging test than Loyola.
Although they are not among the March Madness odds favorites, the Patriots are fourth in the nation in effective field goal percentage on defense. Although George Mason is weak offensively, they have two double-digit wins on just 154 combined points in the last two games, allowing just 129 points. BetMGM offers the most competitive price of our best sportsbooks.
📊 Best odds: -110 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $9.09)

🔥 🔥 Under 127.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
VCU has played stifling defense during this Atlantic 10 tournament, holding both opponents below 60 points. It will likely happen again on Sunday, especially considering George Mason’s preference for a slow pace of play.
The Patriots rank 320th in the country in adjusted tempo and actually rank better in adjusted defensive efficiency (23rd) than the defensively sound VCU (25th), per KenPom.
George Mason ranks outside the top 200 in adjusted offensive efficiency, and at 70.1 points per game, it ranks outside the top 250 in scoring average. The earlier matchup between these two teams totaled 124 points.
📊 Best odds: -110 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $9.09)
🎯 Expert George Mason vs. VCU score prediction
🔮 Expert score prediction: VCU 64, George Mason 57
VCU beat George Mason 70-54 on Feb. 22 in the type of game we expect to see again on Sunday. With their NCAA Tournament hopes hanging in the balance, we give the Patriots more of a fighting chance in this one. Due to an inspired defensive effort, I like George Mason to prevent VCU from hitting 70 points.
Given its woeful offensive efficiency numbers against a Rams unit that has been clamping down defensively, George Mason is unlikely to become the first team to crack 60 points against VCU in this tournament.
📊 Best odds: +17000 via DraftKings (bet $10 to win $1700)
