Staff Prediction

Gonzaga Bulldogs comes in as a strong -15.5 betting favorite in this matchup. While the Zags haven’t been great against the number this season (1-4 ATS last 5), I like Gonzaga in this spot i to pull away with a win and cover the spread. Gonzaga and Kent State both possess near the NCAA average number of possessions per game when viewed from the perspective of how they like to play. This scenario favors Gonzaga, as their superior talent should prevail in this game and cover the 15.5.

Our prediction: Golden Flashes 58 to Bulldogs 85
