UC Riverside vs Cal State Fullerton Prediction

In this UC Riverside vs Cal State Fullerton Prediction, Cal State Fullerton is coming as -6.5 home favorites. Cal State Fullerton has been the better team this season and have been good at home, while Riverside has been terrible on the road. Fullerton is coming in this matchup in better form, as they are 4-3 both straight up and against the spread in their last 7 games and are facing a struggling Riverside squad that is just 2-8 in its last 10 games. I like no side in this matchup but both teams are 10-1 to the under in their last 11 games combined and their previous meeting this season also went under the total. Take the under 155 points once again in this one.
