San Francisco vs Gonzaga Betting Prediction
San Francisco is 15-5 so far this season, but they just lost by 17 points at home to St. Mary’s in their last game. The Dons have had some decent teams in recent seasons, but they really struggle to compete with Gonzaga and St. Mary’s. Gonzaga has picked up a few more losses than we are used to seeing, but they have dominated their last two games against San Diego and Pepperdine. The Bulldogs are scoring 85.6 points per game and I think we are going to see a very high scoring game here. Take the over in this contest.
