Abilene Christian vs California Baptist Prediction
The Abilene Christian Wildcats haven’t had much success on the road, and they’re 2-8 SU and 2-7 ATS in their last 10 games. The California Baptist Lancers have been hit or miss this season, but six of their 10 wins have come at home, and they beat Abilene Christian on the road by six points a couple of weeks ago. In the losing effort, Abilene Christian shot just 35 percent from the field and 29 percent from three. I doubt things are going to get better on the road. The California Baptist Lancers have done a decent job of winning the games they’re supposed to win this season. This should be another one of those games. I’ll lay the points with Cal Baptist.
