Betting Trends for vs
The BYU Cougars may be the toughest team for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the WCC, but they are still aren’t on a level of competing on the road against the top-ranked team in the country. The Bulldogs are currently the top-scoring team in college basketball as they are averaging 88.7 PPG, and they have an abundance of guys who can make a difference on any given night as 6 guys are averaging at least 10 PPG. The BYU Cougars have shown the ability to score the basketball as well as they are averaging 79.2 PPG, but they will most likely be without the services of Yoeli Childs who is averaging 20.9 PPG and 10.1 RPG which is a blow against a Gonzaga team that is allowing 61.6 PPG through 5 conference games. Childs absence leaves a blow trying to score against a good Gonzaga team, but this also opens the gates for Filip Petrusev as he is the team leader with 16.7 PPG and 7.9 RPG. Final Score Prediction, Gonzaga Bulldogs win and cover ATS 83-68.
