Pacific vs Pepperdine Prediction
In this Pacific vs Pepperdine Prediction, Pacific is coming as -7.5 road favorites. Pacific has been the far better team this season but have back-to-back losses following a three-game winning streak. They are just 3-6 against the spread in their last 9 games, but they are going up against a struggling Pepperdine squad that is 1-9 in its last 10 games and 5-5 against the spread. Pacific has been better both on the offensive and the defensive end, having a +5.7 point differential, compared to Pepperdine’s -6.9, so I expect them to take care of business on the road and cover the spread.
