UC-Davis is 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 road games and 19-5-2 ATS in their last 26 games following a loss while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 road games against a team with a winning home record. CSU-Fullerton is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games against a team with a winning road record while the over is 20-8 in their last 28 home games.
I get why Fullerton’s favored here, as the Titans have been the better team over the course of the season, but UC-Davis had to cancel a lot of games so if there was an excuse to be had it’s probably there for the Aggies. With that said, the road team’s had a lot of the recent success between the two sides and Fullerton has been very streaky and right now they’re on a down streak. I’ll take my chances with the Aggies and the points here.
