UC Davis vs Cal State Bakersfield Prediction

In this UC Davis vs Cal State Bakersfield Prediction, UC Davis is coming as -5 road favorites. UC Davis has been the better team this season but have been unstable lately, with a 4-4 record in their last 8 games, having failed to cover the spread in their last three. Bakersfield has five consecutive losses and are 0-3 against the spread, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have allowed 94+ points in each of their last three games combined and their previous meeting earlier this season had 160 total points, so I expect another high-scoring affair. Take the over 153.5 points in this one.
