Randy’s Free Pick
The Gonzaga Bulldogs obviously have the horses to blow the doors off here, but they’ve had issues covering big numbers all year and this is a look ahead spot with Saint Mary’s on deck. Gonzaga is 4-6-1 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season and wins as a favorite by an average of 12.8 points. Lot of free buckets. Give me San Diego.
