Expert Analysis and Prediction
While the spread for this matchup hasn’t been set at the time of this writing, I’m expecting Gonzaga to be favored by at least 15 points in this affair. The Bulldog have won 19 straight in this series, but the Dons nearly pulled off the upset in their narrow 81-77 road loss on March 9, 2020.
San Francisco is 1-4 ATS in their last five games and 2-4 ATS in their last six games against Gonzaga. The Bulldogs have won 20 straight at home while going 5-1 ATS in their last six games played in the month of January and 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games played on a Saturday. Gonzaga wins by double digits. If you can get the spread at less than 15 points, back the Dons. Otherwise, Gonzaga covers!
