Gonzaga vs Pacific Betting Prediction
The Tigers are a deadly three-point shooting club, but they play a pretty bad three-point defense. I'm backing the Bulldogs to win and cover because the Tigers rank in the bottom 70 in both offensive and defensive rebound percentages.
In their last 12 encounters, the Bulldogs have gone 8-4 ATS against the Tigers, who have a 2-10 ATS record in their previous 12 home games. Take the away team to cover the spread and win this game with a statement of intent.
Pick: Gonzaga Bulldogs -18.5 (-110)
