Air Force vs San Diego State Prediction

I’ll lean toward San Diego State. Probably not touching this one, though. The Aztecs couldn’t get out of their own way in their loss to Utah State, committing 12 penalties for 101 yards and giving up 322 rush yards on defense. The Aztecs are mired in a five-game losing streak and have scored fewer than 21 points in three straight.

As for Air Force, they posted 318 rush yards and exactly zero through the air in their three-point comeback win over Nevada. The Falcons have been below 23 points in three of the last five, but they’ve fared better overall on three straight wins. There are a lot of different ways this game could break, but if San Diego State can keep Air Force’s run game in check I think the Aztecs have a decent cover shot. I’m staying away, though.
