Pepperdine at Portland

The Pepperdine Green Wave were once the darlings of the West Coast Conference, but they have not been a contender for a long time. While they are not a contender this season, they have certainly turned the corner at 15-9 on the season. It has been a decade since they posted more than 15 wins in a season, a mark they will surely achieve this year. Portland is 14-10 on the season and at home they are 7-4, scoring 75.2 per game which is way above what Pepperdine should be able to get here. The Waves are averaging just 63.6 per game on the road and 60.8 per game over their last five. The Pilots have kept their last five opponents to an average of just 63.6 per game. Yes, Pepperdine's defense is very good but Portland is 12-3 ATS the past two seasons when facing good defenses (teams like Pepperdine that allow 42% or less from the field). Take the Pilots here.
