Utah Valley vs California Baptist Prediction
Utah Valley is probably the better team and did beat Cal Baptist last month, and has won 8 of the last 10 games in this rivalry. I’m still rolling with the home team in the rematch. California Baptist has yet to lose at home through 9 games and has been dialed in defensively during this four-game winning streak. California Baptist has been in a lot of close games this season and can be sneaky good offensively. In a near pick em spot, I’ll lean toward the team that has yet to lose at home.
