Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's lines around the San Francisco vs. Gonzaga odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.
San Francisco suffered a 77-60 loss vs. the Saint Mary's Gaels Saturday while failing to cover as a 1.5-point home underdog. The Dons' 60-point outing was the lowest they've had since Dec. 16 when they only put up 53 points in a loss vs. Utah State. The Dons are 1-4 straight up (SU) this season when held to under 70 points.
Gonzaga routed the San Diego Toreros 105-63 Saturday, covering as an 18-point road favorite as the Over (158) hit. The Bulldogs have won back-to-back games and have scored at least 86 points in 4 of their last 5, going 4-1 SU and against the spread (ATS) during that span.

San Francisco at Gonzaga picks and predictions
Prediction
Gonzaga 75, San Francisco 68
Moneyline
PASS.
Gonzaga (-490) should continue its recent dominance vs. the Dons, but it is far too heavy of a favorite to risk betting on here. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.
Against the spread
BET SAN FRANCISCO +9.5 (-110).
San Francisco has covered in 3 of its last 4 games and 7 of its last 10. The Dons are also the much better team ATS this season at 13-6, while the Bulldogs are 8-9.
Gonzaga has been dominant SU recently vs. USF, but USF has held its own ATS in recent battles, and I expect that to continue here as this Gonzaga squad is not as good as we have seen in recent years.

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 150.5 (-105).
The Under has hit in 2 of Gonzaga's last 3 games overall and 3 of the last 4 USF-Gonzaga matchups. The Under also holds the narrow 6-4 edge in the last 10 meetings and is 9-8 for the Bulldogs this season.
Both teams are very solid defensively, so this is the safer lean for this play.
This is only a lean because the Over has been very good for San Francisco lately.
