The San Francisco Dons have been a good team this year, but you have to question if they have the horses needed to survive a game like this on the road. The St. Mary’s Gaels win at home by an average of 18.5 points, and they’re 7-4-2 ATS at home as well. Big line, but the Gaels defense is the difference here.
