San Diego vs Fresno State Prediction

The San Diego Toreros have lost 6 of their last 8 games, and their lack of offensive depth isn’t scaring anybody. San Diego has just one double-digit scorer. The Fresno State Bulldogs have issues of their own, but they’re at home and if they’re going to make anything of this season, they need to take advantage of a spot like this. Fresno State has also been an underdog for much of the season, so I won’t be too low on the Bulldogs. This is a rare winnable spot. The line is reasonable. Give me Fresno State.
