San Diego at Gonzaga picks and predictions
Prediction
Gonzaga 99, San Diego 71
Moneyline
Gonzaga’s ML price (-50000) is way too high. The safest prop bet I see is GRAHAM IKE OVER 7.5 REBOUNDS (-105).
Ike has 8 or more boards in 4 of the last 5 games, and in the one he failed to do so, he played just 17 minutes.
Against the spread
San Diego had a 4-game cover streak snapped in the 27-point loss as 15.5-point underdogs at Oregon State.
However, I’m still not willing to give Gonzaga 30 to munch on. The Zags are just 3-7 ATS over the last 10 outings, including 1-4 ATS at home during the stretch.
While Gonzaga has won the last 18 vs. San Diego, the Bulldogs are just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 vs. the Toreros.
TAKE SAN DIEGO +30.5 (-115).
Over/Under
San Diego is just 3-6 O/U in its last 9, and Gonzaga is 6-4 O/U in its last 10.
These teams have played 10 times since 2019 with the Over going 7-3, including 5-0 in the last 5.
BET OVER 155.5 (-110).
