Utah State vs Fresno State Prediction

Utah State comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row and they dominated Colorado State last time out. The Aggies are shooting 52% from the field and they have scored 79+ in four of their last five. Fresno State has lost four in a row and they have allowed 82+ in each of their last three. The Bulldogs are shooting 46% from the field and their offense has been fine, but the defense has really hurt them. I think Utah State is the much better team and I expect their offense to run away with it. Take the Aggies here.
