Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs California Baptist Lancers prediction

The California Baptist Lancers are 5-2 SU at home, and they’ve been solid overall, so it’s no wonder why they’re getting the benefit of the doubt at home. However, an argument can be made that Western Kentucky is the better team with the better offense and its 5-4 ATS on the season. California Baptist is 2-6 ATS on the season and has failed to cover its last 3 games. The value is with WKU and the free buckets in a game it could win outright.
