Arizona State at Gonzaga picks and predictions
Prediction
Gonzaga 89, Arizona State 65
Moneyline
PASS.
You should obviously avoid betting Gonzaga (-4500) because the odds are outrageous. Look at the spread or total if you want to make a bet.
Against the spread
BET GONZAGA -19.5 (-114).
Gonzaga is one of the country’s top teams and looks primed for another win Sunday. Known for their experience and strong home record, the Bulldogs made a big statement in their season opener. Meanwhile, Arizona State has struggled, narrowly beating Idaho State and Santa Clara with inconsistent play. Expect Gonzaga to improve to 2-0 and cover comfortably at home.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 158.5 (-110).
Covering this large total early in the season is challenging as teams settle into their offensive rhythm. Gonzaga’s opener went Over due to their 101 points, with Baylor adding points late in garbage time. Arizona State only scored 55 against Idaho State (whom they held under 50) and should have trouble putting up points against Gonzaga’s defense. Gonzaga will likely take an early lead and score well, but stay under 100. The Under seems the safer bet here.
