UC Riverside vs Cal State Fullerton Pick

  • UC Riverside vs Cal State Fullerton Spread Pick

Both teams are having a ton of issues thus far this season, as each is well below .500 coming into this matchup. Cal State Fullerton, however, will be on their home floor and have a much better offense. The Titans averaged nearly 12 points more per game this season than UC Riverside, and that will carry them on Thursday. Take Cal State forwards, and Thursday night is the job on the offensive end as they get the winning cover at home against a lackluster UC  Riverside team.

  • UC Riverside vs Cal State Fullerton Over/Under Pick

Both teams score the ball a ton, and each has terrible defenses. Look for scoring to come in bunches Thursday night as each team looks to run it up to end their recent woes. Expect a scoring fest Thursday night as both teams light it up, leading to a high-scoring matchup. Take the over Thursday night as Cal State Fullerton pulls off the home win and cover.
