Gonzaga Bulldogs vs Washington State Cougars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/15/26

The Gonzaga Bulldogs, ranked inside the Top 10, make the short jaunt down from Spokane to battle the Washington State Cougars at Beasley Coliseum. Gonzaga has won 10 in a row, although it is just 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past four games, and 2-6 ATS in the past eight outings. The Zags have won seven in a row in this series since the Cougs posted their last win in the series on Dec. 8, 2010. However, Washington State is an impressive 7-1-1 ATS in the past 9 in the series, so proceed with caution with Gonzaga.

Washington State has been a little erratic on offense this season, and the Cougars are two games under .500 overall on the season. While, yes, Wazzu has covered the past two games, and yes, it is 2-0 ATS in two games as a double-digit underdog this season, the Cougars are going to be overmatched quickly. Ace Glass has the toolset to hang with the Bulldogs, but look for Graham Ike, in particular, to have his way in the paint. Gonzaga might struggle a bit in the first half before it is able to pull away in the second half for a victory of at least 20 points.

Gonzaga -18.5 (-105) at time of publishing. Playable to -19.
