Gonzaga vs Oregon State Prediction
This is the best Oregon State has looked all season, with a 7-3 SU and ATS record in its last 5 games. Oregon State also just upset San Francisco last night. The vibes are high right now. And while Gonzaga is the better team and rested, it’s also 8-9-1 ATS since December 17 as a double-digit favorite. Gonzaga had that brutal loss to Portland mixed in during that stretch as well. This isn’t the Gonzaga team from years past that just obliterates opponents. There have been far more shaky moments and with an Oregon State team that’s feeling itself a bit, this has the potential to be a competitive game. Give me the points.
