San Diego State vs. BYU, 10PM ET
The road team is 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 meetings in this series and San Diego State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a failed cover while BYU is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games following a cover. My pick is with the Aztecs plus the points as this should be a competitive game and an unbeaten team getting 5.5 points is too much to pass up. San Diego State is for real and should be able to win this game outright.
