Odds: San Jose State (-690)

With a 5-5 record, San Jose State has an opportunity to become bowl eligible with a win over San Diego State on Saturday night. In Week 11, San Jose State is coming off a massive 42-18 upset win over Fresno State. That win kept San Jose State alive in their bowl eligibility quest and it ruined Fresno State’s New Year’s Six bowl bid.

San Jose State has the momentum to get past a struggling San Diego State team. Earlier this week, San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke announced that he will retire at the end of the season. The Aztecs have added motivation to pick up at least one win for their head coach in the final two games of the regular season.

San Jose State’s Offense Needs To Produce Similar Results

San Jose State was on a roll against Fresno State in Week 11. The Spartans will need to replicate that production in Week 12. For that to happen, quarterback Chevan Cordeiro will have to lead the charge on offense. Against Fresno State, Cordeiro passed for 146 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Kairee Robinson rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns. If San Jose State can find a way to balance its passing and rushing attacks, it could be another blowout win for the Spartans.

Prediction

San Jose State 37, San Diego State 20

If San Jose State can score points, San Diego State’s offense will have a hard time keeping up. The only way San Diego State can win is if it is a game that does not exceed the 30-point threshold. During San Jose State’s current five-game winning streak, the Aztecs have scored at least 30 points. Expect another high-scoring game from the Spartans.
