Seattle Redhawks vs George Washington Colonials: Prediction
The Redhawks' nine of their last eleven games played on a Sunday have stayed below the total mark. Four of their last five games played at home have been below the total line following a double-digit loss.
There have been no recent meetings between the teams, but looking at all the statistics, the matchup seems even. Both teams are similar in terms of stats. Seattle only has a better win/loss record at the moment but doesn't have any other advantage. Expect a close contest nevertheless.
Final Prediction: Total Under 146 (-110)
