California Baptist vs Fresno State Prediction

The California Baptist Lancers have issues when stepping up in competition, and they just don’t play enough defense to trust in spots like this. Playing on the end of a back-to-back doesn’t help matters for Cal Baptist. The Fresno State Bulldogs are simply the more talented team, and they’ve shown signs of improvement offensively over their last three games. California Baptist is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. Give me Fresno State and whatever the line is.
