California vs Cal Poly Prediction

Cal Poly hung around with San Francisco as massive underdogs, and they’ve now covered 5 of their last 6 Games overall. California is talented, but the Golden Bears didn’t shoot the ball great in their season opener, and this could be a look-ahead spot with Vanderbilt and USC on deck. Cal Poly has covered 6 straight Games as a double-digit underdog. Give me the Mustangs and the points.
