MWC Tournament: Utah State vs. San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Utah State Aggies (26-7) and San Diego State Aztecs (26-6) tangle for the Mountain West Conference Tournament title Saturday in Las Vegas. The contest at the Thomas & Mack Center will tip off at 6 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Utah State vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Utah State has lost just 3 times since Jan. 17; 2 of those setbacks were against these Aztecs. In a stretch beginning with a MWC tourney loss in 2021, the Aggies have lost 4 of their last 5 to SDSU. Up-tempo USU boasts the most efficient offense in the conference, but the Aggies have been quite good on defense over their last 5 games.

San Diego State — ranked 20th nationally — beat the Aggies by 10 in their 1st meeting (Jan. 25) and 2 in their 2nd (Feb. 8). SDSU plays at a slower pace and has a stifling defense that has allowed just 56.9 points per game over the Aztecs’ last 7.

Utah State vs. San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 67, Utah State 64

Moneyline

LEAN SAN DIEGO STATE (-125).

It would be a better play at -120, but this is within range.

Against the spread

In this series, the favorite has gone 5-2 ATS over the last 7 games.

Coach Brian Dutcher is an edge for the Aztecs. Dutcher has led SDSU into the National Championship Tournament field each of the last 2 years, and the Aztecs would have been a shoo-in for a top-4 seed in 2020.

San Diego State -1.5 (-110), with its stalwart defense, is the lean … but only an actionable one for real value at -1.5 (-105) or better. PASS.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 7 straight SDSU games.

USU’s best chance here is to play this game like it did the Feb. 8 contest when the Aggies lost 63-61 and the Under won by a margin of 22.5 points.

Utah State likes to get points in bunches from beyond the arc, but teams typically find San Diego State to be especially tough against perimeter shots. Look for some scoring spiral from the foul line, but that’s about it.

BACK THE UNDER 137.5 (-110).

MWC Tournament: San Jose State vs. San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

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

The 5th-seeded San Jose State Spartans (20-12) and No. 1 San Diego State Aztecs (25-6) meet in a Friday Mountain West Conference Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas. The contest at the Thomas & Mack Center will tip off at 9:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the San Jose State vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

San Jose State defeated No. 4 Nevada 81-77 Thursday. The win marked the Spartans’ 4th in a row. SJSU has been in quite a few close games recently, but it lost by 21 points the last time these 2 Golden State foes locked horns (72-51 SDSU win Jan. 28).

San Diego State topped Colorado State 64-61 Thursday and is 11-2 over its last 13 games. The 20th-ranked team in the nation is looking to even its neutral-floor record; the Aztecs are just 2-3 in such games.

San Jose State vs. San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 72, San Jose State 55

Moneyline

San Diego State is huge favorites here, and we’re refraining from the juice box that is its moneyline.

PASS.

Against the spread

SDSU covered a -13.5 when these 2 met Jan. 28, and the Aztecs have covered handily in back-to-back games against SJSU.

San Diego has played the tougher slate and is far superior defensively. The Aztecs are a top-15 squad in defending the 3-ball (29.7% accuracy), and they fare well against teams content to launch a lot from distance. Against the 4 MWC teams that shoot the most 3s (Air Force, SJSU, Utah State, Wyoming), SDSU went 5-2 ATS.

Fast teams can sometimes make dents in the Aztec defense, but the Spartans play at a turtle tempo.

Despite that SJSU slow-down effect, expect a big win for the Aztecs in this one. BACK SAN DIEGO STATE -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

A lot of defense and not much pace. And it’s well reflected in this number: PASS.

Colorado State vs. San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 74, Colorado State 62

Moneyline

San Diego State (-425) should win but is too expensive and isn’t a very good option for a standalone bet as you shouldn’t risk more than 4 times your potential return.

AVOID, and focus on the spread instead.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

Take SAN DIEGO STATE -8.5 (-115), as the Aztecs should be able to win by double digits.

The Aztecs are an impressive 9-3-1 ATS in the past 13 games and are 5-2-1 ATS in the past 8 games following a cover.

The Rams have struggled against winning teams, going just 7-20 ATS in the past 27 against teams with a winning overall record. Colorado State is just 1-6 ATS in its last 7 neutral-site games, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-115) is the lean, but go with a partial-unit play at most.

The Under has cashed in 7 of the past 9 games on a neutral floor for Colorado State and has cashed in 4 of its last 5 games against teams with a winning overall mark.

The Under has cashed in 5 in a row for the Aztecs and is an impressive 20-8 in its last 28 neutral-site games.

Wyoming at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 76, Wyoming 61

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publication.

However, even when it opens there will be value on the San Diego State moneyline. AVOID.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

LEAN SAN DIEGO STATE -14.5 (-115).

The Cowboys are just 2-4 ATS as a road underdog this season. They have also struggled in conference play, posting just a 7-10 ATS record.

The Aztecs are 9-7-1 ATS in MWC competition, 11-12-2 ATS this season as a favorite and 3-2 ATS following a loss.

The Cowboys are just 1-3 ATS over their last 4 games and 2-3 ATS over their last 5 road games. Considering the weakness on the road and as an underdog, back SAN DIEGO STATE -14.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 135.5 (-105).

The Cowboys are 7-3 O/U in their last 10 games and 3-1 O/U in their last 4. They are also 6-2 O/U in road games. Their defense ranks 301st in the nation in opponents’ field goal percentage (46%).

These teams are a combined 19-15 O/U in conference play as well. Although San Diego State’s trends point towards the Under, the porous Wyoming defense is worth betting against.

Back the OVER 135.5 (-105).

San Diego State at Boise State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 63, Boise State 61

Moneyline

Boise State is a fine shooting team, but SDSU is more efficient on offense, getting points from more varied sources, in half-court sets, transition, put-backs, etc. The visiting team is a lean. They’re worth a play at +115 or better. PASS otherwise.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

The Aztecs are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 series meetings. They are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games against winning teams. The Broncos are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

San Diego State is on a nice roll and focused on getting the best possible seed in the NCAA Tournament. BACK THE AZTECS +2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 5 straight SDSU-BSU games and by a margin of more-than-9 points in 4 of those games. These teams play superb defense and will mostly avoid any quick-run spiral from 3s and 1s (free throws). TAKE THE UNDER 133.5 (-105).

San Diego State at New Mexico odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 20 San Diego State Aztecs (22-5, 13-2 Mountain West) visit the New Mexico Lobos (20-8, 7-8) in The Pit Saturday at 10 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the San Diego State vs. New Mexico odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

New Mexico was the final team in the nation to suffer a loss this season. After starting out 14-0, the Lobos have struggled to a 6-8 record since.

One of those 6 victories was a 76-67 win as an 8-point road underdog at San Diego State Jan. 14 when the Aztecs were ranked No. 25. The road has been a bit rocky since for the Lobos. They’re 1-4 straight up (SU) and 2-2-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 5 road games. Their last game was an 82-77 loss at Boise State Wednesday, pushing as a 5-point underdog with the Over of 149.5 cashing.

The Aztecs are on a 5-game winning streak, most recently rolling to a 77-58 decision as 10-point home favorites against Colorado State Tuesday.

San Diego State will look to its defense, which allows 64.6 points per game according to Covers.com, to hold down a New Mexico offense that ranks 18th at 81.0 PPG. The Aztecs were unable to accomplish this in the first outing, but doing so Saturday would mean a conference title while also severely hurting the Lobos’ chances of earning an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament.

San Diego State at New Mexico picks and predictions

Prediction

New Mexico 78, San Diego State 73

Moneyline

BET NEW MEXICO (+125).

The Aztecs have lost just 2 conference games this season, one being to the home loss to the Lobos. A trip to The Pit Saturday could mean a 3rd MWC loss for San Diego State.

This game will not do much one way or another for the Aztecs, outside of seeding for the NCAA tourney, but the Lobos need a win in this game for their resume.

The Lobos will come out firing and will pull off another upset of the Aztecs — this time at home.

I’ll take the underdog moneyline here and BACK THE LOBOS (+125).

Against the spread

PASS.

Since I’m backing the New Mexico moneyline, there’s no need to wager on the spread.

I like the better value with the +125 moneyline. But if you want the safety of taking the points, I wouldn’t blame anyone for betting New Mexico +3.5 (-120).

Over/Under

TAKE OVER 147.5 (-105).

While this number is a bit high, both teams have played games Over recently.

New Mexico is 7-1-1 to the Over in its last 9 games and 4-1 to the Over in its last 5 following a loss, per Covers.com.

While this game hit the Under 147 in San Diego in January, the Lobos score at home and will do so here. The. The previous meeting in The Pit saw San Diego State go for 85. While this Aztecs team will not get there, the Lobos could and this makes me like OVER 147.5 (-105).

Colorado State at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado State Rams (12-15, 4-10 MWC) and No. 20 San Diego State Aztecs (21-5, 12-2) meet Tuesday at Viejas Arena. Tip-off in the Mountain West tussle will be at 11 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network).

Colorado State took the Aztecs to overtime on Jan. 16 before losing 82-76 as  SDSU covered as 4.5-point road favorites. The Rams are now on the road where they have won 2 in a row.

Including that Jan. 16 game at Fort Collins, the Aztecs are 8-1 in their last 9 games. Mid-tempo SDSU has allowed just 64.9 points per game (3rd MWC). Of late, the Aztec defense has been especially strong at the perimeter. SDSU has held foes under a 30% on 3s in 6 straight games.

The Under is 5-0 in SDSU’s last 5 home games against teams with a losing road record. The Under is 3-1 across the last 4 series games.

San Diego State at Utah State odds, picks and predictions

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

The No. 23 San Diego State Aztecs (18-5, 9-2 MWC) and Utah State Aggies (19-5, 11-1) meet Wednesday in a key Mountain West Conference game. Tip-off at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan is at 10 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the San Diego State vs. Utah State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

San Diego State lost its last road 75-66 at Nevada on Jan. 31. The Aztecs bounced back at home with the cover of a -6.5-point line against Boise State 72-52 Friday. SDSU shot 51% from the floor against the Broncos, their best single-game mark since Dec. 2.

San Diego State at Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 69, Utah State 68

Moneyline

In a low-scoring game that could go down to the wire, the suggestion here is to pay for the underdog point. Of the 2 plays below, the Under has the strongest leverage. PASS.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

The Aztecs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against over-.500 opponents while the Aggies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games against foes playing .600 ball.

SDSU essentially led the 1st meeting by double digits for nearly 30 minutes. Other recent comps for this match-up include a 75-66 Aztecs loss at Nevada 2 games back. Rebounding was an uncharacteristic SDSU problem in that one, and that was a close game that went sideways in the final minute.

USU relies on the frequency and accuracy of its distance attack. San Diego State held the Aggies to an 11-of-33 mark in the 1st go-around. Look for the AZTECS +2.5 (-115) to be the value play Wednesday.

Over/Under

SDSU is 5-1 on the road. The Under is 8-0-1 in the Aggies last 9 home games against teams with a winning road record.

San Diego State has played a challenging schedule and one tilted toward offense. Yet the Aztecs have still hoisted top-20 defensive-efficiency numbers.

BACK THE UNDER 146.5 (-110).

Boise State at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Boise State Broncos (18-5, 8-2 Mountain West) look to take hold of the Mountain West Conference against the San Diego State Aztecs (17-5, 8-2) Friday. Tip from Viejas Arena is at 9 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Boise State vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Aztecs find themselves tied with the Broncos for the top spot in the Mountain West Conference after a 75-66 loss as 2.5-point favorites at Nevada Tuesday,

The biggest key in this one will be the matchup between San Diego State’s 104th-ranked scoring offense (75.0 points per game) and Boise State’s  12th-ranked scoring defense (60.7 points allowed per game). San Diego State should have a solid chance to win this key matchup if it can get back on track offensively after a slightly lower output Tuesday. Boise State will gain an important road victory in conference play if it can hold down another opponent.

Boise State at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

Boise State 70, San Diego State 67

Moneyline

BET BOISE STATE (+200).

The Broncos come in on a 3-game win streak while San Diego State is coming off a 9-point loss at Nevada Tuesday.

The Aztecs will play better on their home court but the Broncos will be able to come in and gain the outright victory.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

PASS.

However, if you’re not comfortable with the moneyline you could take the Broncos +5.5 (-105). This is too many points in a matchup between the top 2 teams in the MWC. The Broncos have a 4-0 ATS record in their last 4 games against teams with a win percentage over .600.

Over/Under

OVER 134.5 (-110) is the play on the total.

Boise State is 8-2 O/U in its last 10 games despite that it has the 12th-ranked scoring defense in the nation. The Broncos have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 coming off a win and 6 in a row against teams with a win percentage above .600.

The Aztecs have gone over the total in 6 straight games after a loss and have also gone Over the total in 5 of their last 6 home games against teams with a winning road record.

All the hallmarks are here for an Over and the 134.5 is just too low. I would take this game Over as long as it stays under 137.
