UC Davis vs UC Riverside Prediction
UC Riverside has had issues stringing wins together all season, so I’m expecting a subpar showing after beating Bakersfield. UC Davis has been far more consistent across the board and is a profitable 14-11 ATS on the season. We also saw UC Davis beat UC Riverside a few weeks ago. UC Riverside is a below-average team at both ends of the floor. You can argue UC Davis should be a steeper favorite. We’re only laying a bucket. Give me UC Davis.
