San Diego State at Utah State picks and predictions
Prediction
San Diego State 76, Utah State 69
Moneyline
SAN DIEGO STATE (+118) is a nice play as short 'dogs on the road.
While the Smith Spectrum has been a tough place to play over the years, the Aztecs are catching Utah State (-142) at a good time in the schedule. The Aggies have been struggling since flipping the calendar from January to February, winning just twice in 5 tries, including a loss in the Feb. 3 meeting in SoCal.
Against the spread
SAN DIEGO STATE +2.5 (-105) is a less attractive play, unless you firmly believe Utah State -2.5 (-115) is going to lose, but only by 1 or 2 points. If that's not your line of thinking, and you like the Aztecs, just play the moneyline for a much better value.

Over/Under
OVER 143.5 (-110) is the lean, but play a half-unit at most.
The Over cashed in the 1st meeting in San Diego, as we had 148 combined points on a total of 146.5. Expect another razor-thin Over result, perhaps cashing on late free throws in the final seconds.
The Over is 6-4 in the past 10 games for Utah State, but be careful. The Under has hit in each of the past 3 games at home.
The Over is on a 5-2 run for the Aztecs, while going 6-2 in the previous 8 outings on the road.
