San Jose State vs Fresno State Prediction

I understand Fresno State is going to get love because it's at home, but I'm not sure if the Bulldogs are this much better of a team. Fresno State is also 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 games as a favorite. San Jose State has the better offense and has been competitive on the road, which includes hanging with Colorado State and Washington State. San Jose State is 4-2-1 ATS in its last 7 games as an underdog. I'll take a shot with San Jose State and the points in a game the Spartans could win outright.
