Cal Poly vs Long Beach State Prediction
Long Beach State is getting some respect because it’s at home and it’s senior night. If there was a game for Long Beach State to put together one last decent performance, this would be it. I just can’t get involved with a team that hasn’t won a game in well over a month and is 14-15 ATS despite being underdogs nightly. Cal Poly has issues of its own, but it has taken advantage of the games it’s supposed to and did beat Long Beach by nine points in late January. Cal Poly should be able to snag its fifth road win of the season by beating a Long Beach State squad that’s going nowhere fast.
