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.

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). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Colorado State vs. San Diego State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

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.

Nothing attractive here. PASS.

Against the spread

Against the number San Diego State has take 5 straight in this series. But the road team is 7-2 in the last 9 games of this series, and this spread is a big ask in a low-scoring environment.

PASS.

Over/Under

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.

The Aztecs have played slower games of late. CSU’s tempo is below average. Look for a contest with enough chance of landing closer to 130 to make the UNDER 136.5 (-105) worth a partial-unit play.

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.

The Aggies played the Aztecs in San Diego Jan. 25 and fell 85-75 (as a +7). In that contest, SDSU shot 54.5% from 3-point range and outscored Utah State 17-6 in free throws. USU has since gone 3-0 straight up and 3-0 against the spread.

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.

San Diego State at Nevada odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Diego State Aztecs (17-4, 8-1 Mountain West) will look to stay atop the Mountain West with a victory over the middling Nevada Wolfpack (16-6, 6-3) in Reno Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the San Diego State vs. Nevada odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Nevada looks to avenge an early January 74-65 loss to San Diego State — which finished as a push against the spread (ATS) with the Aztecs favored by 9 at home.

The Wolfpack alternated wins and losses in their last 6 games, recently falling to UNLV Saturday 68-62 as 2-point underdogs. They are 2-3-1 ATS in the 6 games.

If Nevada wants to get back into the mix for a conference title, it will be forced to beat a San Diego State team which has only lost once in conference play this season and is coming off a 21-point home victory (73-52) over outmatched San Jose State as a 13.5-point favorite Saturday.

SDSU has won and covered 4 in a row after suffering its lone MWC loss — to New Mexico 76-67 as an 8-point home favorite Jan. 14. Nevada defeated New Mexico 2 games ago, 97-94 in double overtime but failed to cover as a 3.5-point home favorite.

San Diego State at Nevada picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 73, Nevada 68

Moneyline

PASS.

I like San Diego State (-165) to win, but not at this price. I prefer to lay the points below. However, if you’re looking for a solid play to add to a parlay, the Aztecs at -165 is a good addition.

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

Against the spread

BACK SAN DIEGO STATE -3.5 (-105).

Along with being 4-0 ATS in their last 4, the Aztecs have been a solid play against good teams, going 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a win percentage of .600 or higher.

Nevada has been a solid ATS team at home, going 9-2-1 in its last 12 games.

With this line only being 3.5 and with Nevada’s shaky play of late, San Diego State (-3.5) is the way to play this game.

Over/Under

BET OVER 137.5 (-115).

All of Nevada’s last 5 home games have gone Over. The Over has also hit in 4 of San Diego State’s last 5 road games.

With the Aztecs averaging 75.4 points per game and the Wolf Pack 73.5, these 2 teams will both likely get to 70 or close to it.

The road team is 7-1-1 ATS in this series, and with San Diego State being the better team and, on the road, it will dictate the pace a bit. It will want to push the pace and force Nevada to play defense.

In a close game, I like the Over to hit with a flurry of points at the end of the game.

Utah State at San Diego State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Utah State Aggies (16-4, 5-2 MWC) and San Diego State Aztecs (15-4, 6-1) meet Wednesday. Tip-off from Viejas Arena is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). 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.

The Aggies nipped San Jose State 75-74 last time out on Saturday. However, Utah State has failed to cover the spread in 3 straight games and is 1-4 against the spread in the past 5 outings overall. The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games for USU.

The Aztecs have rebounded with a pair of road victories after suffering a 76-67 home loss against New Mexico on Jan. 14. San Diego State is looking for a 3-game cover streak for the first time this season; it last covered consecutive games Nov. 15-21 in wins over Stanford and Ohio State.

Utah State at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 79, Utah State 71

Moneyline

The moneyline is OTB at the time of publication.

However, San Diego State will be too expensive to make a standalone wager. There’s absolutely no value in playing heavy favorites, even in a multi-team parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

SAN DIEGO STATE -6.5 (-115) is the way to go based on the series trends.

The home team has cashed at a 15-5-1 ATS clip in the past 21 meetings in this series, while the favorite has hit in 4 of the past 5 outings.

Utah State is 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games overall and is 0-4 ATS in the past 4 games against teams with a winning overall record.

Over/Under

OVER 144.5 (-110) is worth a look in this MWC battle.

The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games overall for Utah State, while going 4-0 in its last 4 games on the road. The Over is 12-5 in the previous 17 games for San Diego State at home, too.

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

The San Diego State Aztecs (14-4, 5-1 Mountain West) will face the Air Force Falcons (12-7, 3-3) Saturday at Clune Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network).

The Aztecs defeated Colorado State 82-76 in overtime Wednesday to cover as 4.5-point favorites on the road. San Diego State has won 8 of its last 10 games.

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.

San Diego State at Colorado State odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Diego State Aztecs (13-4, 4-1 MWC) and Colorado State Rams (10-9, 2-4) meet Wednesday at Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colo. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the San Diego State vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Aztecs saw a 6-game win streak come to a crashing halt at Viejas Arena in San Diego in a 76-67 loss to New Mexico as an 8-point favorite. The Under in that loss snapped a 3-0 Over run by San Diego State.

The Rams picked up an impressive 82-81 overtime win at UNLV as 5.5-point underdogs, bouncing back from an 85-74 OT setback at home against Air Force last Tuesday as 9-point favorites. The Over has hit in 6 in a row for Colorado State.

San Diego State at Colorado State picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 71, San Diego State 69

Moneyline

COLORADO STATE (+170) is worth a look on its home court, as it looks to build off the momentum from its road win at UNLV last time out.

San Diego State (-220) has been involved in close games for a good part of the past 6 weeks, and its luck ran out last week against New Mexico.

Against the spread

COLORADO STATE +4.5 (-110) is a solid value on its home court, as this should be a very close conference game.

San Diego State -4.5 (-110) has managed a dismal 2-9-1 ATS mark across its past 12 games. While the Aztecs have covered 4 straight in this series, the Rams are the better option on their home court.

Over/Under

UNDER 140.5 (-105) is worth a look.

The Under has connected in each of the past 3 games in this series, including last season’s meeting in Fort Collins. Colorado State scratched out a 58-57 win in that battle.

The Aztecs have cashed the Under at a 9-3 clip in the past 12 road games against teams with a home winning percentage over .600. The Rams have cashed the Over in 6 in a row, but should have difficulty running up the score against a San Diego State defense which allows just 66.1 PPG.
