San Diego State at Air Force picks and predictions
Prediction
San Diego State 71, Air Force 66
Moneyline
Way too much juice on SDSU to consider here.
PASS.
Against the spread
While I envision San Diego State winning the game, AIR FORCE +8.5 (-105) is how I’m betting the spread. San Diego State is a perfect 4-0 on the road this season, but they’ve struggled to cover the spread recently.
The Aztecs are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a win. Meanwhile, the Falcons are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games following a win and 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games overall.
Over/Under
OVER 131.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager in this contest. The Aztecs and the Falcons are both shooting 36% or better from 3-point range this season.
San Diego State has gone 4-0 to the Over in its last 4 road games and 4 of its last 5 games overall. Air Force is 7-0 to the Over in its last 7 home games.
