California Baptist vs Utah Prediction
Utah is obviously capable of blowing the doors off due to the talent gap, but this isn’t the same defensive minded group from past seasons. Heck, we saw Utah lose to Cal Poly as a double-digit favorite. Utah is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games. No, thanks. California Baptist will be the more motivated side, and this is a team that’s been on the road all season. California Baptist beat UC Irvine as a big dog, beat up on Oregon State and just played BYU. Cal Baptist won’t be scared of this game. Also, a look ahead for Utah with Miss State on deck. Give me the points.
