Pacific Tigers vs. San Diego Toreros Prediction
I’m on the Tigers in this game. I get why San Diego could be worth a look at home, but I think at a certain point, the handicap just becomes which team is the better basketball team and for me, that’s Pacific. I think that the Toreros are just overmatched in this game and I think Pacific gets the win and cover on the road here. Give me Pacific.
