UC San Diego vs CSU Fullerton Prediction
The CSU Fullerton Titans have lost three times at home, so I’m not worried about home-court advantage. CSU Fullerton hasn’t had success defensively and just allowed 95 points against Cal State Northridge. The UC San Diego Tritons have four road wins, they have the offense to give Fullerton fits, and they’re 9-3 ATS on the season. I know the double-digit chalk may scare some away, but CSU Fullerton is sure to make the Titans comfortable in this spot. This should be a comfortable win for UC San Diego. I’ll lay the chalk with the road team.
