San Diego vs UC San Diego Prediction
San Diego has competed in this rivalry in past years and is coming off two covers, which includes a nice win over Northern Arizona. The problem is San Diego has had issues defending when stepping up in competition and this isn’t the spot where that can continue if it wants to hang around. UC San Diego can score the ball with the best of them and is 8-1-1 ATS on the season. UC San Diego has underdog wins over Temple and Fresno State, and it recently beat the blood out of Tulane. It’s still early, but UC San Diego looks like a contender in the Big West. I’ll lay the points with the Tritons.
