Now we realize that Air Force has the shorter trip here as this game in is Santa Clara, but this still looks like an inflated line to us.
The Falcons are ranked 17th in the nation at 11-1, but George Washington has not exactly been chopped liver. The Colonials are 7-2 while beating their opponents by an average of +11.8 points per game. They also have a size advantage here, as they are averaging 32.2 rebounds per game compared to a sub-par 27.9 boards per game for the Fly Boys.
Also the Air Force 11-1 mark must be taken with a grain of salt given the competition. In fact five of the wins have come in non-lined games vs. Division II opponents, including the last four in a row. Thus this represents a huge jump in class for the Falcons, and we would not be at all shocked if GW ambushes them here with an outright upset.
