Why the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos will win

  • UC Santa Barbara has won 19 of its last 22 night games against non-conference opponents at The Thunderdome.

  • UC Santa Barbara has won the first half in five of its last six games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Eastern Washington vs UC-Santa Barbara Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos, a team that’s 1-3 ATS on the season and has failed to cover 7 of their last 9 games overall. However, the Eastern Washington Eagles haven’t played a lick of defense up to this point, and that’s not ideal when going up against the Gauchos. This game has a chance to get ugly for the road team. It’s UC Santa Barbara or pass for me.
