Fresno State vs Utah State Prediction
Utah State has had some covering success and is respectable defensively. I just can’t take the Aggies seriously, as they’re 121st in total offense, 103rd in pass offense, 106th in rush offense, and 134th in scoring offense. Even with Fresno State haveing a bend but don’t break defense, Utah State doesn’t scare anybody. Also, Fresno State has been a covering machine dating back to last season, and that includes an 8-2 ATS record in its last 10 games.
This is a spot where you just trust the team that cashes tickets to cash any other one. The line is more than reasonable. Give me Fresno State in a nice road win as it becomes bowl-eligible.
