California Baptist vs Grand Canyon Prediction
Grand Canyon is the more talented, consistent team obviously, but the value is with Cal Baptist and the points. California Baptist is playing its best ball of the season with four straight wins and the defense has led the way. Cal Baptist has allowed less than 70 points in five of its last six games. Also, the two meetings this season bode well for Cal Baptist, as the Lancers beat Grand Canyon at home and then lost by two points on the road. California Baptist won’t be intimidated in this matchup and is probably confident given this recent stretch. Give me the points.
