Long Beach State at San Diego State picks and predictions
Prediction
San Diego State 81, Long Beach State 65
Moneyline
San Diego State (-1200) will cost you 12 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet such a heavy favorite, either straight up, or as part of a multi-team parlay. Including the Aztecs would suck all of the value out of your ticket.
AVOID.
Against the spread
SAN DIEGO STATE -13.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly, as the Aztecs look to get back on track. It faces another team it should be able to push past on its home arena.
Jaedon Ledee has been dominant in the early going, averaging 24.5 PPG and 8.5 RPG in the first 2 games, hitting 60.7% from the field. The Beach will have its hands full trying to contain him, and they'll offer very little resistance. He is the difference maker.

Over/Under
UNDER 147.5 (-110) is the play, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Under cashed last time out for San Diego State, and the Under has cashed in both outings for Long Beach State. The Beach will have difficulty getting into the paint, and Long Beach has really struggled from the perimeter at 27.9%.
Look for the total to come in just Under the number.
