Quite some time ago Pepperdine was the current day Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference, but it has been years since the Wave has put out a credible team. This is likely their best team in quite some time at 15-10 on the season. They played Gonzaga to a two point loss at home, match up well with this team, and won't be intimidated as most teams are facing the Zags, who are 25-1 on the season and ranked #2 in the country. Those numbers look impressive, but the price to be paid backing them is getting too high, especially vs. a competent opponent. The Wave is 15-6-2 ATS in their last 23 overall and 6-1 ATS in their last seven against a winning team. The Bulldogs have taken the foot off the gas after a 20+ point win and followed at 1-5 ATS in their last six. Pepperdine in this one.
