Alabama Crimson Tide vs Gonzaga Bulldogs: Prediction
Eight of the last nine games for the Crimson Tide have crossed the total played at a neutral venue. They have two injuries to deal with at the moment. Nimari Burnett is out indefinitely due to a wrist injury and Dominick Welch is missing indefinitely due to a calf injury.
The Gonzafa Bulldogs too have two injuries to deal with. Joe Few is out indefinitely due to an undisclosed reason. Kaden Perry is out as well due to a back issue. This game is between two ranked teams and will definitely be a close one. Both offenses are on fire and the teams tend to leak points. They have played only one game against each other that ended 91-82 in favor of Alabama.
Final Prediction: Total Over 160.5 (-110)
