On a loaded Monday slate, the second of four College Basketball Crown games pits the George Washington Colonials out of the A-10 against Boise State Broncos from the Mountain West. Tipoff from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET (FS1).

The Broncos are the largest betting favorite (-7.5) of any team playing today. However, given the Colonials' significant transfer portal loss, our George Washington vs. Boise State prediction, odds, and preview suggest the spread should be bigger.

✅ Boise State to cover the spread: -7.5 ⭐⭐

Boise State had faint hope of hearing its name called on Selection Sunday after losing to Colorado State in the Mountain West Championship. 

The Broncos are the much more talented team in this matchup and will prove it as long as they have recovered from the disappointment of not being selected to play in the NCAA Tournament.

George Washington was impacted more by the transfer portal, as its third-leading scorer, Darren Buchanan Jr. (10.8 points, 5.8 rebounds per game) entered the portal a week ago.

By comparison, Boise State lost two players (a backup center and redshirt freshman guard) who each averaged fewer than four points per game. With the more intact team and the class difference, I am backing the Broncos.

🔥 Player prop bet: Alvaro Cardenas Torre Over 7.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

Boise State point guard Cardenas Torre ranks seventh in the country with a 39.4% assist rate, which improved to a Mountain West-best 41% in league play.

Cardenas has totaled eight or more assists in three of his last four games. The most impressive of those performances was his eight assists in the Mountain West Championship despite playing just 34 minutes and the team finishing with only 19 made field goals.

George Washington ranked 11th in A-10 play with assists allowed on 54.7% of opponents’ field goals, so this is a three-star play for Cardenas to record eight-plus assists once again. Of our best sports betting sites, FanDuel is the one to lock this in. 

📊 Best odds: -114 via FanDuel ($10 to win $8.77)

🎯 Score prediction: Boise State 76, George Washington 64

Boise State had a compelling case for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, with non-conference wins over Clemson and Saint Mary’s and two wins over New Mexico. That’s why I’m predicting a comfortable Broncos win and a final score of Boise State 76, George Washington 64.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
