UT Arlington has 6 road wins, but it’s in rough shape with a 3-7 SU and ATS record in its last 10 games. We recently saw UT Arlington lose at home to Southern Utah as big favorites. California Baptist is undefeated at home and while Arlington forced overtime in the first meeting, the Lancers didn’t blink and dominated the extra five minutes. California Baptist is the better team and has been making a push in the WAC. I have no interest in Arlington. I’ll lay out the points with California Baptist.
