Bet on Santa Clara as underdogs with a +6.5 handicap in the home game against Gonzaga
Revised Article:
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Tonight, the (troublesome) Gonzaga Bulldogs are 6.5-point road favorites against the * scrappy Santa Clara Broncos*. But let's not rule out Santa Clara just yet—they've been a realhin bettor's dream recently.
First off, it's essential to know that Gonzaga's ATS success is, well, rather catastrophic when they play as the favored squad. With a lukewarm 50% cover rate on the road, you'd be better off flipping a coin. And that's just the sugar-coated version! In their last tussle against Saint Mary's, they guys lost and failed to cover as 4.5 favorites, further fanning the flames of skepticism.
But here's something to consider: Santa Clara has a pattern of covering their spread, especially when it counts. Despite their 7-7 ATS record as the home team, they've been on a beastly run, with six straight covers. When they're the underdogs this season, they've been a force to reckon with, sporting a commendable spread record of 5-3. And if that's not impressive enough, they've only dropped three out of their 14 match-ups at home.
As far as sports betting in California, things can get a bit dicey. Legal sportsbooks are still a distant dream in the Golden State, but you could Bet on the Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) sites like DraftKings or FanDuel while you wait. For a full-fledged sportsbook experience, offshore platforms like BetOnline, BetUS, and our personal favorite, Bovada, are there for you. Washington bettors can wager at tribal casinos, where 14 sportsbooks are milling around, or take a punt with Kalshi Sports, a different kind of betting platform. Happy wagering, sports fan!
