These teams each allow 77 ppg and score 75 ppg. Those are some even numbers; add one more: they are both 8-12 on the season. That's a lot of similarities for this stage of the season, and I'm forecasting a back-and-forth, up-tempo matchup that gets this one north of the total. Washington St. appears to have turned things up a notch as they are 4-1 to the OVER in January. San Diego usually plays strong defense, but this season, they have allowed 14 teams to score 70+. Bet this game OVER the number.
