San Diego State at New Mexico picks and predictions
Prediction
San Diego State 76, New Mexico 75
Moneyline
The Aztecs have won 4 of the last 5 in this series, and SDSU looked very sharp in recent games up until its last one. San Diego State would is great play at +140. After increasing from +120 Saturday morning, this is now a play.
Take SAN DIEGO STATE +140.
Against the spread
The Aztecs are 26-18 ATS across their last 44 MWC games. They are 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 games of this series.
San Diego State has played much the better schedule, and its performances against KenPom top-75 types so far is compelling.
But the lean here does not make for a ton of value. New Mexico is a veteran team, and the Lobos have a big-time home-barn advantage.
Consider a partial-unit play on the AZTECS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under
This match-up presents a clash of styles with relatively deliberate SDSU facing up-tempo New Mexico.
The analysis components of how this one plays out present a mixed back. A total a field goal below or above 150 is a solid approximation, so there is no leverage here. Don't force it. STEER CLEAR.
