Pepperdine vs Oregon State Prediction
Pepperdine has had issues stringing together success all year and is just 14-17 ATS on the season. Pepperdine has failed to cover seven of its last 10 games. I doubt things change with Pepperdine on the end of a back-to-back. Oregon State beat Pepperdine twice this season, which includes an 84-78 win on the road a couple of weeks ago. Oregon State has had a week off and has won most of the games it’s expected to win this season. Oregon State is also 19-11 ATS on the season. Thick line for a tournament game but there’s a clear talent gap between teams. Give me Oregon State for another win over Pepperdine.
