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.
