Cal Baptist at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Cal Baptist at San Diego State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cal Baptist Lancers (5-4) and the No. 24 San Diego State Aztecs (6-2) meet Wednesday at Viejas Arena. Tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Cal Baptist vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Lancers suffered a 74-59 loss as 10-point underdogs at UCF last time out with the Under (149) cashing Dec. 1. CBU has managed just a 2-7 against the spread (ATS) mark so far this season, while the Under has a slight 4-3 edge in the previous 7 outings.

The ranked Aztecs topped crosstown rival San Diego 74-57 Saturday, but they came nowhere near covering as 24-point favorites and the Under (141) hit. The Aztecs are 3-2 ATS in the past 5 games, while the Over has hit in 3 of the previous 4 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Cal Baptist at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 78, Cal Baptist 61

Moneyline

San Diego State (-1400) will cost 14 times the potential return. That’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Aztecs sucks all the value out of your bet slip.

PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

The lean is to SAN DIEGO STATE -15.5 (-105), but go with a small-unit play at best.

As double-digit favorites, the Aztecs are just 1-2 ATS in 3 tries this season, so there is plenty of risk.

However, Cal Baptist failed to cover as a double-digit underdog in its last game — the 15-point loss at UCF — and it is just 2-7 ATS this season.

Over/Under

OVER 135.5 (-110) is the worth a look in this intra-Cal play.

The Lancers have cashed Overs in 2 of the past 3 outings, although the Under cashed in their only true road game.

For the Aztecs, though, the Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings as they scored 73 or more points in their 3 consecutive outings.

San Diego State at Fresno State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Diego State at Fresno State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Diego State Aztecs (4-2) and the Fresno State Bulldogs (3-4) meet Wednesday at SaveMart Center in Fresno for the Mountain West Conference opener. Tip-off is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the San Diego State vs. Fresno State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

San Diego State picked up a 73-70 win in overtime over the Houston Cougars at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas. It’s only setback came against the No. 10 Oregon Ducks, while scoring an 18-point win over previously ranked Creighton Bluejays. After a 3-0 start for the Under, the Over has hit in the past 2 for the Aztecs.

Fresno State lost 86-81 in overtime against the Cal Baptist Lancers, while also suffering an 84-73 loss to the Washington State Cougars at Acrisure Arena. However, the Bulldogs have covered in 3 in a row, while the Over is on a 3-1 run in the previous 4 games.

San Diego State at Fresno State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 73, Fresno State 62

Moneyline

San Diego State (-1100) will cost you 11 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward, especially for the conference opener on the road.

Look, Fresno State (+675) is not good, and unlikely to pull off the upset, but there is just no value betting such a heavy favorite.

PASS.

Against the spread

FRESNO STATE +14.5 (-115) has covered 3 in a row, and it is worth a look on its home court against San Diego State -14.5 (-105).

San Diego State -14.5 (-105) has managed just a 2-3 ATS mark, and it has yet to play on the road this season. However, as a double-digit favorite, it is 0-1 ATS.

Over/Under

UNDER 141.5 (-115) is worth a look in this Mountain West opener.

While the Over cashed in the past 2 outings for San Diego State, one of those games went to overtime to aid in the win. The Under went 3-0 in the first 3 games.

For Fresno State, the Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings, so be careful. However, the Over-Under has split in the first 2 games at home. And, the Under has hit in 4 straight meetings with San Diego State, while going 8-2 in the past 10 in the series.

San Diego State vs. Houston odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Diego State vs. Houston odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Diego State Aztecs (3-2) and the No. 7 Houston Cougars (4-2) meet in the Players Era Festival third-place game Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the San Diego State vs. Houston odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

San Diego State roughed up Creighton in the opener of the tourney, posting a 71-53 win as a 4.5-point underdog as the Under (140.5) cashed. The Aztecs were humbled 78-68 by Oregon Wednesday as a 3.5-point underdog as the Over (138) hit for the first time in 4 games this season.

Houston suffered a disappointing 85-80 loss in OT Tuesday in a top-10 battle in the tourney opener. The Cougars bounced back with a 65-54 win over Notre Dame, but UH didn’t come close to cover as a 17-point favorite as the Under (134.5) connected.

Over/Under (O/U): 125.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

San Diego State vs. Houston picks and predictions

Prediction

Houston 65 San Diego State 57

Moneyline

Houston (-1000) will cost you 10 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk on a singular bet or as part of a multi-leg parlay.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

Play SAN DIEGO STATE +12.5 (-110) catching the points. It should be able to keep this one within single digits.

Houston -12.5 (-110) does with a deliberate and methodical offense, while locking it down on the defensive end. It has failed to cover in the past 2 games, while going 2-3 ATS in the past 5 outings.

For San Diego State, it is 1-3 ATS in 4 games to date, while going 1-2 ATS in 3 games as an underdog, so be careful.

Over/Under

UNDER 125.5 (-115) is worth a look, even though this is a low number, and it has dropped 4 points.

Again, Houston likes to slow it down, and San Diego State is generally not in any hurry, either.

The Under cashed in the first 3 games for the Aztecs, including the tourney opener with Creighton. The Over cashed last time out against Oregon, however, so don’t get carried away.

The Over-Under has split in 2 games in this tournament for UH, with the Over cashing in the Alabama game which went to OT. The total has gone low in 3 of the past 4 games for the Cougars.

Air Force at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Air Force at San Diego State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Air Force Falcons (4-7, 2-4 Mountain West) and San Diego State Aztecs (3-8, 2-4) meet Saturday. Kickoff from Snapdragon Stadium is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Air Force vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Air Force isn’t eligible for a bowl after suffering a seventh loss at Army Nov. 2, but it hasn’t given up. The Falcons have rattled off 3 straight victories over Fresno State, Oregon State and Nevada as they look to finish up strong.

Air Force has covered 4 in a row after an 0-7 against-the-spread (ATS) skid to start the season. The Under has gone 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Falcons.

San Diego State has dropped consecutive 41-20 losses to UNLV and Utah State, both on the road, and it has suffered 5 straight losses, while going 1-3 ATS in the past 4 outings.

The Over has cashed in 2 in a row, while going 3-1 in the past 4 games. San Diego State’s defense has been tagged for 41 or more points in those Overs, while allowing 21 or more points in all 10 games against FBS opponents.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Air Force at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

Air Force 23, San Diego State 15

Moneyline

Air Force (-225) will cost you more than double your potential return, which is quite risky despite the fact it has been on a roll. You can’t play the Falcons straight up at this price, but if you fold them into a multi-leg parlay, it would be OK to use Air Force.

PASS.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread

While AIR FORCE -5.5 (-110) has covered 4 in a row, including the past 2 on the road, it is a risky play, so go lightly. The Aztecs are just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 games, but the Falcons still do have a losing overall record despite the recent hot streak.

San Diego State struggled to stop the run, though, allowing 201.0 yards per game on the ground. That will be the difference, as Air Force averages 219.3 rushing yards per contest.

Over/Under

UNDER 43.5 (-110) is a small number, but we should see the Air Force defense step up in this game, keeping totals low.

The Under has cashed in 2 straight, and 4 of the past 5 games, for Air Force. While San Diego State’s defense has struggled, and the run game will certainly have its issues against the Falcons, it will be a slow go for Air Force, too.

Go low in this finale for both teams.

San Diego State vs. Creighton odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Diego State vs. Creighton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 19 Creighton Bluejays (4-1) battle the San Diego State Aztecs (2-1) in the Players Era Festival – Power Tournament from Las Vegas Tuesday. Tip is set for 2 p.m. ET (TBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the San Diego State vs. Creighton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Creighton is No. 19 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll. The Bluejays won each of their first 4 games by double figures, but was just 1-3 against the spread (ATS). Creighton lost its most recent game to the Nebraska Cornhuskers 74-63 Friday, closing as a 10-point home favorite.

The Aztecs won its first 2 games, but then faced the No. 4 Gonzaga Bulldogs on Nov. 18. They lost 80-67 as a 10.5-point home underdog. San Diego State has yet to play away from home and is 0-2 ATS. It is led by G Nick Boyd, who is averaging 14.7 points per game (PPG).

Over/Under (O/U): 137.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

San Diego State vs. Creighton picks and predictions

Prediction

Creighton 72, San Diego State 64

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bluejays (-165) are the better play here, but they just aren’t quite worth the cost as a moneyline favorite. Avoid them there and focus on their value on the spread.

Against the spread

BET CREIGHTON -3.5 (-115).

The Aztecs offense is concerning, having scored just 67 points against Gonzaga. The bigger problem was that Boyd shot 6-for-10 from the field while the rest of the team was 17-for-51. San Diego State is averaging 65 PPG in its 2 games with a spread, and that isn’t good enough to beat Creighton. San Diego State is 0-2 ATS.

The Bluejays have scored at least 78 points in 4 of 5 games. Despite struggling in their last game, they have a trio of players scoring at least 13 PPG. That variety makes Creighton the preferred side. Expect thw Bluejays to bounce back so take CREIGHTON -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 137.5 (-105).

Both teams have favored the Under so far this season. The Aztecs are 0-2 O/U and have scored below 70 points in both games that featured a spread and have allowed an average of 69 PPG in those 2 games.

The Bluejays have gone Under in 4 straight games. In their lone game as a favorite of under 15 points, they scored just 63 and went Under the 151 total in a 74-63 loss.

With those trends in mind, back UNDER 137.5 (-105).

Gonzaga at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Gonzaga at San Diego State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 4 Gonzaga Bulldogs (3-0) and San Diego State Aztecs (2-0) tangle in a Monday contest at Viejas Arena, tipping off at 10 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Gonzaga vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Gonzaga heads out for its first road game after 2 easy wins bracketing a closer-than-expected Nov. 10 contest against Arizona State, an 88-80 win. The Bulldogs — owners of a 2-1 mark against the spread (ATS) — have been highly efficient thus far and are averaging a robust 100.7 points per game.

San Diego State is back on the hardwood for the first time since last Tuesday when it clocked a 100-59 victory over D-III Occidental. SDSU is opening a tough stretch that will continue Thanksgiving week at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas where it will face No. 13 Creighton on Nov. 26.

Gonzaga at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

Gonzaga 77, San Diego State 70

Moneyline

No interest. STEER CLEAR.

Against the spread

SDSU won straight up as a 6.5-point underdog at Gonzaga 84-74 last season. The Aztecs played excellent defense, holding the Zags to a 42.4% mark from the floor, including 5-for-19 behind the 3-point line, and winning the turnover battle 13-11. Plus, the Aztecs’ bench outscored the Bulldogs’ bench 32-11.

GU will surely have revenge on its mind, but the defensive-minded Aztecs play at a below-average tempo and are solid in defending near-proximity looks around the bucket.

Expect Gonzaga to earn the win but perhaps more in the 3-possession territory on the final score.

TAKE SAN DIEGO STATE +10.5 (-110).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The Under has gone 10-5-1 across SDSU’s last 16 lined games on home hardwood.

Expect big defensive efforts from both sides and not a ton of clock-stopped looks from the foul line. San Diego State has been a bit loose with the ball at times but tends to get back and avoid quick transition buckets.

TAKE THE UNDER 149.5 (-115).

San Diego State at UNLV odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Diego State at UNLV odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Diego State Aztecs (3-6, 2-2 Mountain West) and UNLV Rebels (7-2, 3-1) meet Saturday. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (CBSSN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the San Diego State vs. UNLV odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Aztecs suffered a tough 21-16 loss to New Mexico at home last Friday as a 1.5-point favorite, a costly blow to the team’s bowl eligibility hopes. Now, San Diego State must win out to qualify for a bowl. The Aztecs have failed to cover in the past 2 outings, too, while the Under is 2-1 in the past 3 games.

For the Rebels, losses to Syracuse and Boise State in the past 2 home games have derailed talk of a potential run to the College Football Playoff, but a win over Hawaii last week was the team’s seventh victory of the season. The Rebels failed to cover, and they’re just 1-4 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 outings. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 6 games.

San Diego State has won 4 straight meetings, and 8 of the past 9 since Sept. 27, 2014. The Rebels are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 in the series, with the Under cashing in 6 of the previous 7 contests.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

San Diego State at UNLV picks and predictions

Prediction

UNLV 32, San Diego State 19

Moneyline

UNLV (-2000) will cost you 20 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, include the Rebels makes absolutely no sense.

AVOID.

Against the spread

SAN DIEGO STATE +21.5 (-115) is a bit of a risky play, but the hope is that it plays with a ton of urgency given the fact that a loss means no chance of a bowl game.

The Aztecs are a respectable 2-1 ATS in the past 3 games on the road, while the Rebels are a dismal 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games, including 2 straight outright losses in the past 2 at home.

While the Rebels are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings, the Aztecs have won 8 of the past 9 in the series outright. The double-digit under in the past 4 meetings has cashed at a 3-1 ATS rate.

Over/Under

UNDER 54.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly.

The total has gone low in 6 of the past 7 meetings in this Mountain West series.

The Under has hit in 2 of the past 3 games for San Diego State, while going 2-1 in the past 3 games for UNLV.

San Diego State at Boise State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego State at Boise State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Diego State Aztecs (3-4, 2-0 Mountain West) take on the Boise State Broncos (6-1, 3-0) at Albertsons Stadium Friday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the San Diego State vs. Boise State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

SDSU lost a nailbiter to Washington State last week, covering as a 17-point dog in a 29-26 defeat. It led 26-14 after a touchdown early in the fourth quarter but folded. RB Marquez Cooper rushed 18 times for 78 yards and 2 TDs.

Boise State, No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, is coming off a 29-24 victory over UNLV. RB Ashton Jeanty rushed 33 times for 128 yards and a TD. It covered as a 4-point favorite in what was its 5th win in a row. The only blemish on its record is a 37-34 defeat to Oregon as an 18-point dog.

Prediction

Boise State 38, San Diego State 24

Moneyline

There is no wager here. Boise State should continue its winning ways, but wagering $250 to win $10 is not wise.

PASS.

Against the spread

I like SDSU at home here to keep it within 3 scores. The Aztecs have covered 4 straight games, and none of them were more than 17-point spreads. The Broncos are in the midst of a soft spot in their schedule and could easily take their foot off the gas late.

Take SAN DIEGO STATE +23.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This one is going Over. The Broncos posted 34 points on Oregon, which is one of the top teams in the nation. They’re 5-2 O/U on the season. Meanwhile, SDSU has scored at least 21 points in 4 straight games.

Take the OVER 57.5 (-105).

The Washington State Cougars (6-1) and San Diego State Aztecs (3-3) meet Saturday at Snapdragon Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Washington State vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Washington State bounced back with a pair of wins over Fresno State and Hawaii after a 45-24 loss at Boise State Sept. 28. The defense has allowed just 13.5 points per game (PPG) in the past 2 outings, cashing the Under in both. The total has gone low in 4 of 6 games against FBS opponents. Wazzu is 5-2 against the spread (ATS) in its 7 outings.

San Diego State has picked up consecutive 27-24 wins over Hawaii and Wyoming in the past 2 games, bouncing back from a stunning 22-21 loss at Central Michigan Sept. 28. The Aztecs are 3-0 ATS in the past 3 games after opening the season 0-3 ATS. The Over has cashed in the past 2 outings, too.

Washington State at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

Washington State 40, San Diego State 21

Moneyline

Washington State (-600) will set you back 6 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough return. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, there is just too much to lay, with not enough of a reward.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Backing WASHINGTON STATE -14.5 (-105) is worth the play. The Cougars have covered at a 5-2 ATS clip in 7 games this season and are 2-1 ATS as double-digit favorites. On the road and in neutral-site games, the Cougars are 2-1 ATS in the previous 3 contests.

For San Diego State +14.5 (-115), it is 3-0 ATS in the past 3 games after opening 0-3 ATS. As underdogs of 5.5 or more points, the Aztecs are 0-2 ATS in the previous 2 contests.

Over/Under

OVER 56.5 (-115) is a strong play in this battle in San Diego.

The Over has cashed in the past 2 games for San Diego State in a pair of 27-24 victories. While the Under has connected in 2 in a row for Washington State, and 4 of the past 6 games, the Over is 3-0 in 3 games when the Cougars are double-digit favorites.

San Diego State at California odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Diego State at California odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego State Aztecs (1-1) travel to meet the California Golden Bears (2-0) Saturday at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the San Diego State vs. California odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Aztecs were embarrassed last weekend by visiting Oregon State, falling 21-0 at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego as 5.5-point underdogs. The Under (53.5) easily cashed in that one. Prior to that, SDSU stomped Texas A&M-Commerce of the FCS, 45-14, but it failed to cover as a 32.5-point favorite as the Over (57) connected.

The Golden Bears picked up a giant 21-14 victory at Auburn last week, cashing as 11.5-point underdogs as the Under (53) hit. Cal topped a good UC Davis team 31-13 at home Aug. 31, just missing the cover as a 20.5-point favorite as the Under (57) cashed.

This is the 9th all-time meeting, and it will break a 4-4 series tie. San Diego State won a barn burner in the most recent meeting Sept. 10, 2016, 45-40. Cal won the most recent meeting in Berkeley, roughing up the Aztecs 35-7 Sept. 12, 2015.

Moneyline (ML): San Diego State +750 (bet $100 to win $750) | California -1200 (bet $1,200 to win $100)
Against the spread (ATS): San Diego State +17.5 (-110) | California -17.5 (-110)

San Diego State at California picks and predictions

Prediction

California 26, San Diego State 13

Moneyline

California (-1200) will set you back 12 times your potential return. There is never a reason to bet such a giant favorite like that, as there is just not enough reward to justify that type of risk. Even as part of a huge parlay, including Cal sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back SAN DIEGO STATE +17.5 (-110) catching the points, and hope that it can rediscover its offense.

The Aztecs were a disaster on offense against Oregon State last week, getting blanked at home. However, California -17.5 (-115) could have a little bit of an emotional hangover after such a strong road win against an SEC foe a week ago. Can the Bears bring the intensity 2 weekends in a row at such a high level?

Over/Under

UNDER 48 (-110) is the best option on the board in this Golden State battle.

San Diego State was blanked last week, and it cashed low on the total in its only previous game against an FBS foe. Cal went low at Auburn in the upset win and against UC Davis in the opener, too. Look for defense to reign supreme in the East Bay Saturday.
