Pacific vs Gonzaga Prediction
The Gonzaga Bulldogs obviously have the ability to win in a blowout, but they’re also 9-15 ATS on the season. Gonzaga keeps getting these inflated lines and aren’t cashing tickets. Gonzaga is also 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games as a favorite of 20 or more points. Gonzaga has failed to cover five of its last eight games as a double-digit favorite overall. Pacific is coming off a nice win over Pacific and has seen five of its eight wins come at home. Obviously, Gonzaga wins and should win comfortably. I’m still grabbing the points with Pacific on Saturday night.
