These are two bad teams, and they’re not playing good ball as of late either. Horrible matchup across the board. And while you can argue the Cal State-Bakersfield Roadrunners are the better team and being at home helps, they’re 4-11-1 against the spread on the season. The Cal State-Bakersfield Roadrunners lose in the favorite role by an average of 0.3 points. It’s the points or pass for me.
