Bulldogs Spotlight

The Fresno State Bulldogs were able to squeak by the New Mexico Lobos, but failed to cover the 10-point spread. Offensively on the road, the Bulldogs rank 301st in points per game, 130th in field goal percentage, and 189th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Bulldogs rank 3rd in points allowed, 64th in field goal percentage, 54th in 3-point shooting, and 3rd in rebounding. 

Aztecs Spotlight

The San Diego State Aztecs just pulled off a nice road victory in Laramie against the Wyoming Cowboys, while covering the spread now in five straight games. Offensively at home, the Aztecs rank 310th in points per game, 197th in field goal percentage, and 62nd in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Aztecs rank 5th in points allowed, 13th in field goal percentage, 9th in 3-point shooting, and 61st in rebounding. 

Final Say

Fresno State hit a snag not too long ago losing four straight (against good competition), but have rebounded with two-straight wins, albeit they are 1-1 ATS in those two games, but it’s good to see they are pulling off wins now. San Diego State has been money going 5-0 ATS in their last five games, but are coming off a hard-fought win in Wyoming, so they could be a tad elated coming back home. It also seems like Vegas gives Fresno State enough points when they visit San Diego State, evidenced by their 5-0 ATS record in their last five trips there. San Diego State also doesn’t have a shot at winning the Mountain West, so I don’t see them fully exerting themselves tonight. I’m expecting San Diego State to win, but just feels like too many points for them to lay in this spot. Roll with Fresno State to keep it within the number tonight.

Pick: Fresno State Bulldogs +8
