Bet on College Basketball for Thursday, March 15, 2018
Who We Like: This game features a pair of teams that were very good at covering. Houston was 18-10-1 against the spread while San Diego State is 20-10 ATS. The two teams are also built similarly with a sound defense and an offense that averages 77 points per game. The Aztecs have won nine straight while covering the spread in eight of those nine games. While Houston may have played a slightly tougher schedule, I think the Aztecs are capable of pulling off the upset here. On paper this game looks very even and the Aztecs have better numbers on the road than Houston.
