Bet on Santa Clara as underdogs with a +6.5 home disadvantage against Gonzaga
In the riveting college basketball match-up of Santa Clara vs Gonzaga taking place tonight, it's Gonzaga who are the 6.5-point favorites. However, Santa Clara's recent form is captivating punters' attention.
Santa Clara, a team on a thrilling six-game winning streak, is seeming like a smart bet to cover against the Bulldogs. While Gonzaga hasn't been the most reliable favorite, with an ATS record of 11-18 this season, they still present a formidable challenge.

They've managed to cover the spread in six straight games. Santa Clara's record as an underdog this season is also encouraging, with a solid 5-3 run. Moreover, they've only lost three games at their home court out of 14.

However, do note that while you can use online sportsbooks not officially licensed in Washington, it's generally advisable to stick with legal retail options at tribal casinos in California, due to the current legal restrictions. Happy betting!
