Cal State Fullerton vs Cal Poly Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup with five losses on the season already, but they have a chance to start conference play with a 1-0 record here. Cal Poly barely beat a non-D1 team last time out and while they score plenty of points, they have allowed at least 81 points in five straight. Cal State Fullerton has won two of their last three games, but they have allowed at least 80 points in four of their last five. Neither team plays much defense, but I think the Titans are in a better spot and they are at home. Take Cal State Fullerton here.
