Let’s dive into the injuries, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.

Injuries

San Francisco doesn’t have any new names on the injury report, while Giordan Williams is out until mid-March with a knee injury for Santa Clara.

Matchup History

Santa Clara’s 84-70 win over San Francisco made it back-to-back wins for the Broncos in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

San Francisco is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following an ATS loss. Santa Clara is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following an ATS win.

Pick

I’m sticking with Santa Clara ATS here. The Broncos have had the Dons number this season, winning both meetings and while sometimes rest could equal rust, I just don’t think that the Dons have what it takes to hold down the Broncos for a full 40 minutes. Probably a game I’d rather watch than bet, but I’ll take Santa Clara here.
