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).

Air Force at Utah State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Air Force Falcons (13-13, 4-9 MWC) and Utah State Aggies (19-7, 8-5) clash Tuesday in Logan. Tip time at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum will be at 9 p.m. ET.

Air Force at Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah State 70, Air Force 58

Moneyline

Utah State (-900) is far too steep to warrant a wager. You should never risk 9 times your potential return on a standalone wager, and this is too steep to even add to a parlay.

PASS.

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

Against the spread

Utah State is the clear favorite here, but Air Force’s pace (351st nationally) makes a 12.5-point spread tough to overcome. PASS.

Over/Under

The last 6 USAFA-USU games have gone live at lower totals. The Under is 3-1-1 in the Aggies’ last 5 overall.

The Falcons have the perimeter defense to keep the Aggies inside the arc perhaps more than they want to. USU has had some big shooting nights in the last 4 weeks or so. The Aggies are in fade territory in that category, and a lower total here is the play.

TAKE THE UNDER 137.5 (-105).

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).

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.

Utah State at Air Force odds, picks and predictions

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

The Utah State Aggies (12-2, 1-0 Mountain West) battle the Air Force Falcons (9-6, 0-2) Tuesday. Tip from Clune Arena is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Utah State vs. Air Force odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Utah State at Air Force picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah State 71, Air Force 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Utah State is the better side, and it is 2-0 straight up on the road. At (-350), I would ultimately pass here.

Against the spread

BET AIR FORCE +7.5 (-115).

The Falcons have been rewarding for bettors over their last 9 games, posting an 8-1 ATS record. They are 3-1 ATS over that span as an underdog as well.

Air Force also has a defense that ranks 50th in opponents’ points per game (63) and 90th in opponents’ FG percentage (41%) which suggests its defense is good enough to keep things close.

Although Utah State is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games with a spread, it is just 1-1 ATS on the road this season. The defensive strength of the Falcons should limit the Aggies’ efficiency offense.

Back AIR FORCE +7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 135.5 (-110).

Utah State is 8-5 O/U this season while Air Force is 8-7 O/U, so both teams have consistently rewarded those backing the Over. The Aggies average 83.8 points per game and should play at a high pace. They are 3-2 O/U in their last 5 games.

Air Force is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games and averages 69 points per game. It also ranks top 75 in FG percentage (47.3%) and 3-point FG percentage (36.6%).

Considering the offensive efficiency by both teams, back the OVER 136.5 (-110).

First Responder Bowl: Memphis vs. Utah State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Memphis Tigers vs. Utah State Aggies odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Tigers (6-6) take on the Utah State Aggies (6-6) in the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl on Tuesday with kickoff at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas at 3:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Memphis vs. Utah State school odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

  • Moneyline (ML): Memphis -290 (bet $290 to win $100) | Utah State +230 (bet $100 to win $230)
  • Against the spread (ATS): Memphis -7.5 (-105) | Utah State +7.5 (-115)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 60 (O: -111 | U: -109)

Memphis vs. Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

Memphis 34, Utah State 24

Moneyline

Utah State will not have RBs Calvin Tyler Jr. or Robert Briggs, their top 2 rushers, in this game. Tyler opted out and Briggs is injured.

Memphis averaged 35.1 points per game this season. Their offense will be tough to match without the Aggies’ top running backs. And the Utah State defense allowed an average of 30.6 points per game.

I give Memphis the edge here, but the line doesn’t warrant a wager at this price.

PASS.

Against the spread

Utah State did not lose a game this season by fewer than 10 points. The Aggies were 4-8 ATS this season.

All 6 of Memphis’ wins were by at least 16 points. The Tigers were 6-6 ATS on the season.

The Utah State offense only averaged 23.3 points per game and the Memphis offense put up more than 35 points per game.

BET MEMPHIS -7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Only 1 of Memphis’ final 3 games got to 60 total points. Utah State’s final 3 games all surpassed 60 points, but their previous 3 all did not get to 60.

Anticipate a game in which both teams score roughly what they averaged in the regular season.

BET UNDER 60 (-111).

Utah State at Colorado State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah State at Colorado State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Colorado State Rams (1-4, Mountain West 1-0) welcome the Utah State Aggies (2-4, 1-1) to Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah State vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Colorado State kicked the season off to a rough start with a 51-7 loss at Michigan. That was an unfair assessment of the Rams, but then they lost to Middle Tennessee at home.

Their only win this season was a 17-14 victory over Nevada this past weekend. RB Avery Morrow has been really the only efficient player for the Rams, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and having posted 237 yards this season.

As for Utah State, it is coming off an impressive conference win over Air Force. In previous games, it lost to UNLV, Weber State, BYU and Alabama. It has won only won 2 games, its first and then most recent.

Utah State is aggressive on the ground, having averaged 160.5 yards per game. Its main weakness is in its rush defense, though, allowing 201 yards per game.

Utah State at Colorado State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah State 31, Colorado State 17

Moneyline

PASS.

Colorado State hasn’t shown enough this season, and the line here is certainly accurate. I wouldn’t back either side as Utah State hasn’t been good enough to bet on, and the Rams are unlikely to pull off the upset.

Against the spread

LEAN UTAH STATE -12.5 (-110).

A home double-digit underdog might feel like a good bet, but the Aggies have been far better. And, at the very least, Utah State has a competent run game.

Rams starting QB Clay Millen has just 5 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on the season, and Morrow, while impressive, hasn’t scored this season. Colorado State is averaging the fewer points per game in the nation of FBS sides with just 12.

Utah State has also been a turnover machine, but it has managed to score 4 rushing touchdowns and can pound the ball, which the Rams haven’t proven they can stop.

Utah State is 2-4 against the spread (ATS) while Colorado State is just 1-4 ATS.

Over/Under

BET OVER 45.5 (-108).

Both defenses have been awful, and both offenses haven’t been much better.

The Rams average 12 points per game, but the Aggies have allowed 34.8 per game, which sits 117th of 131 programs. They didn’t get destroyed against Bama, but Weber State put up 35, BYU 38 and Air Force 27.

The good news is that Utah State has scored at least 24 points in its last 3 games, and the Colorado State defense has been equally as terrible, allowing 35.6 points per game.

Air Force at Utah State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Utah State Aggies (1-4) welcome the Air Force Falcons (4-1) to Maverik Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Air Force at Utah State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Air Force is coming into this battle following a 13-10 win over Navy. It has taken down Nevada, Navy, Northern Iowa and Colorado so far this season, 3 of those games being double-digit victories as well.

While the Falcons are easy to predict, they’ve been impossible to stop, averaging 369.8 rushing yards per game this season, the most in the nation. RB Brad Roberts leads the team with 573 yards and 7 touchdowns.

As for Utah State, it has had a disappointing season, losing to Alabama 55-0 in its second game. It has lost to Weber State, UNLV and BYU since, only having beaten UConn.

The Aggies are also mainly a running program with RB Calvin Tyler Jr. leading the way. He has 396 yards through 5 games this season with the Aggies averaging 152.8 yards on the ground per game as a team.

Air Force at Utah State picks and predictions

Prediction

Air Force 38, Utah State 24

Moneyline

PASS.

Air Force is on the road and still a -475 favorite, so I’ll pass here.

The value, especially taking on a program that had double-digit wins last season, is just not there. Betting on an upset, after what Utah State has shown, also doesn’t make much sense.

Against the spread

LEAN AIR FORCE -10.5 (-115).

Simply put, Air Force has been running all over teams, and the Utah State run defense isn’t that good.

The Falcons average the most rushing yards in the nation while the Aggies allow 188.4 per game. That’s going to be a battle that’s absolutely exploited in this matchup.

Air Force is 3-2 against the spread (ATS) while Utah State is 2-3. Even the Aggies offensive strength, in the run game, isn’t that strong as they have just a 3.7 yards per carry average.

Expect the advantage for the away side to be too great for Utah State to handle.

Over/Under

BET OVER 54.5 (-108).

Utah State was shut out against Alabama and then struggled against Weber State. Since that FCS battle, the Aggies have stepped up tremendously, averaging 25 points per game.

Utah State’s 2 quarterbacks have combined for 11 interceptions as well, so its turnovers should help spark some easy Air Force drives. Without a real ability to stop the Falcons, they should be able to rack up touchdowns.

Air Force has scored 40 or more points in 3 games. I’ll back the OVER 54.5 (-108) here as another way to bet on Air Force.

Utah State at BYU odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Utah State at BYU odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah State Aggies (1-3) and the BYU Cougars (3-1) meet Thursday at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah State vs. BYU school odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Aggies are in freefall, dropping 3 consecutive games after a 31-20 victory in Week 0 against UConn. That includes an ugly 35-7 loss to Weber State of the FCS and a 34-24 setback in Logan against UNLV in their Mountain West opener.

The Cougars rebounded from a 41-20 loss at Oregon Sept. 17, posting a 38-24 victory over Wyoming Saturday as the Over connected. The Over is 3-1 for BYU through 4 games.

BYU is No. 20 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Utah State at BYU picks and predictions

Prediction

BYU 45, Utah State 13

Money line

BYU (-3000) is going to win this game, make no mistake. However, you cannot risk 30 times your potential return, or in other words, you can’t risk $100 for just a $3.33 profit.

AVOID.

Against the spread

BYU -23.5 (-117) has been a little dinged up. WR Gunner Romney is poised to return after suffering a lacerated kidney in camp. WR Puka Nacua is dealing with a lower leg injury, and is questionable. WR Chase Roberts is questionable due to an undisclosed injury but is expected to play.

However, even if I were starting for the Cougars, BYU would dominate this game and win going away. Utah State is awful.

Over/Under

The UNDER 60.5 (-110) is the LEAN in this Beehive State rivalry game.

The Cougars have some injury issues at receiver, so they may turn to the run game more. Running means the clock gets chewed up, favoring the Under. Utah State can’t be trusted to score much, as QB Logan Bonner has really struggled and been mistake-prone.

Utah State at Alabama odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah State at Alabama odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah State Aggies (1-0) will take on the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (0-0) at 7:30 p.m. ET in Tuscaloosa, Ala., at the historic Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game will air on the SEC Network (SECN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah State vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The 2021 Mountain West-champion Aggies opened their season last Saturday with a 31-20 win against Connecticut. QB Logan Bonner threw for 281 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions while running backs Calvin Tyler Jr. and Robert Briggs rushed 43 times for 246 yards and 1 touchdown. The Aggies will hope to find the same success this week against a much stronger Crimson Tide team.

The Crimson Tide come into the season as one of the biggest National Title favorites of all-time. They are expected to be 1 of only 15 teams in history to be favored by double digits in each of their games this season. Of course, these preseason stats mean nothing to coach Nick Saban. Whether it is a national contender like Georgia or an unranked team like the Aggies, Saban prepares his team the same each week. There is no doubt that QB Bryce Young and the rest of the team will be ready to roll.

Alabama is No. 1 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Utah State at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 55, Utah State 10

Money line

There’s no value on the ML here. Look to the spread. PASS.

Against the spread

Although the Crimson Tide were 2-1 against the spread last year in games they were a 41-point or more favorite, it is safe to look elsewhere. The ALABAMA -35.5 (-135) ALTERNATE SPREAD is at a good enough value to go this more conservative route.

Over/Under

Bet the OVER 63.5 (-105). Everybody expects the Crimson Tide will score early and often in this game, but it is a matter of how many touchdowns they will give up, which will determine if this will be a sweat. The Crimson Tide had 5 of its 15 games hit the Over last year while the Aggies had 6 of 14 hit the Over.
