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).
