The UC Riverside Highlanders are the more proven team and just gave Oregon all it could handle on the road. However, while the Cal Baptist Lancers have had a mild schedule up to this point, their offense has been on fire through nine games, and they’ve taken care of business in all but a road game against Texas. Cal Baptist has also been great against the number on the road. No respect for the Lancers. Give me the points.
