In my view, UC Santa Barbara is being overestimated. Despite having a better record this season, I'm skeptical about the Gauchos being favored by more than 4 points on the road. UC Santa Barbara holds a 4-7-1 record against the spread and hasn't faced sufficient challenges this season, serving as a significant cautionary signal for potential bettors.Although Cal Poly has underperformed throughout the season, they have a solid chance to cover the spread. While UCSB may possess a slight advantage on defense, their 252nd rank in defensive efficiency nationally raises concerns. The last five matches were closely contested, with the average game being decided by 5-6.5 points.
In terms of the market, SportsInsights indicates nearly even money on this game. The initial spread opened at UCSB -8 but was adjusted to -7 during the day. This adjustment may hint at sharp money favoring the underdog tonight. It seems wise to consider taking the points in this situation.
Pick: Cal Poly +7 (-115)
🍀Best of luck!
