San Diego State vs Air Force Betting Prediction
Air Force comes into this matchup with only one conference win this season and they are tied for last in the Mountain West standings. The Falcons are only scoring 68.3 points per game and they have allowed 94, 83, 84, 58, and 85 points in their last five games. San Diego State is ranked in the top-25, but they are 0-3 in their last three road games against Colorado State, Boise State, and New Mexico. The Aztecs are only shooting 44.9% from the field, but they do have a big rebounding advantage in this matchup. This Air Force team is really bad and I think San Diego State should roll to an easy win here. Take the Aztecs to win big.
