Gonzaga vs. Oregon State CBB Prediction:
Gonzaga has been a bit disappointing against the number this season. The Bulldogs are 7-11 against the spread on the season, and 1-9 against the spread in their last 10 games. What seems to happen often is Gonzaga wins but doesn’t cover against bad teams, and loses outright (either as a favorite or underdog) against good teams. To wit, the Bulldogs are 2-3 ATS against ranked foes this season. Oregon State isn’t ranked, but they are still a major conference team that could pose a bit of a challenge to the Zags on Thursday.
Oregon State has also had great success against the number this year. The Beavers are 3-1 ATS as an underdog and 10-2 ATS against non-conference teams this season. What’s more, Oregon State is 9-1 ATS as the home team and 7-3 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest this year. I think the Beavers are able to keep this one competitive until the end. Oregon State is the pick.
