San Jose State vs San Diego State Prediction 

San Diego State comes into this matchup leading the Mountain West standings, but they have only scored a total of 23 points in their last two games. The Aztecs are an elite defensive team, but their offense leaves a lot to be desired. San Jose State has lost four of their last five games and they were just embarrassed by a bad Nevada team, but they do have a solid offense. The Spartans play no defense, but they can sling the ball around pretty well. I just don’t have confidence in San Diego State being able to score enough to cover this number, so give me San Jose State and the points.
