Pepperdine vs San Francisco Prediction

SF is coming into this game off of a loss in their last one but that loss snapped a win streak for them and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have been playing very well recently winning 3 of their last 4 games and they have also been good at home this season with a 12-3 record. They are going up against a Pepperdine side that has not been playing well this season as they sit at the bottom of the conference table with just a 1-9 record against conference opponents this season and they have been awful on the road losing all 10 of their games. They are coming off of a win in their last game but that was their first conference win this season and it snapped a 9 game losing streak for them. SF has beaten them already on the road this season by more than 25 points, they should be able to do the same to them here at home.
