Gonzaga Vs. USC Game Total
Some might look at the college basketball odds on the total for this game and think that it is set quite low and they are right. Both teams are not shy at all when it comes to scoring the ball as Gonzaga is a top team in the country in scoring as they average 91.8 ppg while USC puts up 75.2 ppg. Combined, that would crush the Over.
However, both teams do put up a strong defensive front as the Bulldogs allow 63.7 ppg while the Trojans only allow 58.3 ppg. This should not stop bettors from taking the Over though as both teams have hit the Over more often than not. Gonzaga has gone 4-0 in hitting the Over in their last four Tuesday games and are 5-1 with Overs in their last six games following a win against the spread. As for USC, the Over in their last five games has gone 3-1-1 and in their last seven games following a win against the spread has gone 5-1-1. All in all, the Over should be the way bettors lean.
