College Football Betting Trends
San Diego State
San Diego State is 20-6-1 against the spread in their last 27 games against a team with a losing record and 36-15-2 in their last 53 conference games.
Air Force
Air Force has covered the spread in nine straight games following a win of 20 points or more. They have also covered in four of their last five on grass.
Prediction:
These two have narrowly hit the over in their last two games, playing right near the mark. I don’t love this spread as San Diego State hasn’t been winning by large margins. The Aztecs have relied on their defense to keep the score low and their offense does enough to win from there. Despite that, Air Force tends to play right into SDSU’s hands. The Aztecs can stop the run and control the line of scrimmage, which is what Air Force needs to do to win. Air Force is just 1-7 against the spread in their last eight against the Aztecs and 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips to San Diego State.
College Football Prediction: San Diego State -10.5
