UC Davis vs UC Irvine Prediction
In this UC Davis vs UC Irvine Prediction, UC Irvine is coming as -9 home favorites. UC Irvine has been the better team this season but both teams have almost identical ATS records and both are coming into this matchup in good form, as they are 5-1 and 6-3 in their last 6 and 9 games respectively, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 10-4 to the under in their last 14 games combined and their previous meeting this season was also a low-scoring one, with 147 total points scored. UC Irvine almost cracks the top-60 of the country in points allowed, so take the under 143 points in this one.
