Long Beach State vs Cal Poly Prediction
Long Beach State isn’t good, and Cal Poly should win at home, where it’s seen four of its six wins come this season. However, I’m not laying points with a Cal Poly team that doesn’t defend and hasn’t won a game since December 17. The Cal Poly Mustangs are 1-9 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. Long Beach State has issues as well with losses in four of its last five games and is getting blasted defensively. However, Long Beach State has won eight of the last nine games against Cal Poly and has four road wins this season. Long Beach State shoots the ball well enough to hang with a bad Cal Poly defense. Give me the points with Long Beach State.
