San Diego
The Toreros are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win. San Diego is 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings.
Gonzaga
The Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. Gonzaga is 5-2 ATS in its last seven Saturday games.
Prediction:
The problem with Gonzaga blowing everyone out is that it inflates future spreads. But if you want to bet against them and like the number, that can only be a good thing. San Diego is nothing to write home about, but it is having a decent season and coming off a nice win over San Francisco. San Diego has only lost two games by double digits this season and none by more than 17 points. I think San Diego can find a way to lose by 22 or less here.
