Pepperdine vs Cal State Bakersfield Prediction

In this Pepperdine vs Cal State Bakersfield Prediction, Cal State Bakersfield is coming as -1 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season and both have exactly 7 defeats and both have been in terrible form lately, as Bakersfield is 2-6 in its last 8 games and 1-6 against the spread, while Pepperdine has five consecutive losses and is 0-5 against the spread. I see no value on either side, but both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, as they are 9-1 to the under in their last 10 games combined. I expect another low-scoring affair in this matchup, so take the under 145.5 points.
