Washington State vs Gonzaga Prediction
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are obviously the better team, capable of another blowout, as they beat the Cougars by 13 points about a month ago. However, Gonzaga has failed to cover seven of its last 10 games and is 10-17 ATS on the season. Gonzaga keeps getting these inflated numbers and isn’t cashing tickets. Gonzaga is 5-11 ATS in its last 16 games as a double-digit favorite. You can think whatever you want about Washington State, but I’m not laying big numbers with Gonzaga. Give me the points with Washington State at home.
