Gonzaga continues to roll through an undefeated season and the Bulldogs are playing well above their rating, winning by an average of 21 points. And they're getting better as the season goes on, having covered their last seven games. For a team to get huge spreads placed on them every time out and still be able to cover regularly, it's an incredible statement about how good they are. Meanwhile, San Francisco has lost two of its last three (0-3 ATS). I'm on Gonzaga to keep its groove going.

At the start of conference play, coaching is an obvious strength for top programs. A forgotten top coach has been Mark Few of the Zags. He has his Zags in line for a strong year and delivered an obvious message at halftime in their latest victory against Pacific. The Zags trailed 34-29 at halftime before hitting a new gear in the second half. The Dons are a competitive team but no match for the defensive intensity the Zags will bring. Grab Bonzaga as a steep road favorite.
