Result: Loss
10* Pepperdine (WC GOY)

Here are two teams on opposite ends of the spectrum, but that fact is in fact working in our favor here, as I believe this spread is a few points larger than it really should be. Pepperdine is 7-15, while Loyola Marymount is 15-7. The Waves are averaging 77.3 PPG, and allowing 79.4. The Lions are averaging 76.6 PPG, while allowing 69.9. The Waves catch a bit of a break here on the defensive end, as the Lions don't play at the fastest pace. Pepperdine has no issues scoring. Loyola Marymount has a look-ahead matchup at BYU up next as well. Finally note that the underdog is a near-perfect 6-1 ATS the last seven in this series. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points, the play is Pepperdine!
