USC Upstate Spartans vs. Fresno State Bulldogs Prediction
I’m on Fresno State here. It’s not a game I’m rushing to bet, mainly because I’m not sure a game over Fresno Pacific tells us anything about Fresno State. However, the Spartans didn’t look good defensively against Cal Baptist and I think I’d need a few more points to consider them in this spot. Give me Fresno State at home in this one.
