Gonzaga vs Northern Illinois Betting Prediction

The Bulldogs are undefeated at home, and this season they defeated Kentucky by a score of 16 points. The Huskies have a poor road record of only 1-4 and have had trouble scoring this year.

Beyond the three players who average double figures, the Huskies' offensive strength is limited. A stern Bulldogs defense will make it difficult for the Huskies to make shots. Tonight, bet on the Bulldogs to win and cover the spread.
