Betting Trends for vs
The Santa Clara Broncos have gotten off to a sneaky good start as they bring a 14-2 record into this matchup, and they could make some noise in the WCC with a few key upsets. The San Francisco Dons graduated a ton of talent from last season, but they have been very good scoring the basketball as they are averaging 79.7 PPG. The only problem for the Dons has been their effort on the defensive side of the court as they are allowing their opponents to score an average of 71.8 PPG, and the Broncos have been excellent score the basketball as they average 80.2 PPG. The Broncos are one of the top three-point shooting teams in the country as they rank 46th, and that has been one of the weaknesses of the San Francisco defense as they rank 346th in defending the three-point line. Santa Clara is the better team in this matchup, and I like them to not only cover the spread but win this outright. Final Score Prediction, Santa Clara Broncos win and cover ATS 77-72.
