California Baptist vs UT Arlington Prediction
California Baptist is probably the better team, but we’re not going to act like we didn’t just see the Lancers lose to Southern Utah as a double-digit favorite. UT Arlington has won three straight home games and has seen seven of its 11 wins come at home this season. California Baptist is 8-15 ATS on the season and has outright lost three of its last six games as a favorite. This is a game UT Arlington could win outright, and it’s kind of a big game in terms of the WAC standings. I’ll take a shot with UT Arlington and the free bucket.
