Air Force vs San Diego State Prediction, Odds, Picks for College Basketball

It’s time to continue our college basketball odds series with Air Force Prediction and Selection-San Diego State. Learn how to watch Air Force-San Diego State.

The Wednesday Night College Basketball Conference Schedule includes this matchup from the Mountain West in San Diego. The San Diego State Aztecs have to think they have established order this college season.

San Diego State suffered one of the worst collapses of any team in the sport this season when they blew an 18-point lead at home to the Utah State Aggies. San Diego State should never lose a home game in which they lead by 18 points, unless that 20-0 team is first in the country or something. Utah State is a good team, but not a great team. The Aggies failed to cover the spread against San Jose State on Tuesday night. They beat lowly Fresno State by just six at home last Saturday. They are good, but not special or elite. However, they came back against SDSU and achieved a shocking comeback victory on the home floor of the Aztecs. It just wasn’t supposed to happen. However, it is. San Diego State had to take that terrible loss and make sure to respond in a very big way when it traveled to Boise to face the Boise State Broncos, an NCAA Tournament caliber team, last Saturday on national television.

The Aztecs were ready to fight. They broke open a close game late in the second half and were able to pull off a monster win of the Mountain West season. San Diego State brought its defense to battle, holding Boise State to 38 percent shooting from the field and limiting the Broncos to just 7-of-30 3-point shooting. The Aztecs were able to prevent Boise State from going on a big game-changing run. Coming off a huge road win, the Aztecs return home to face one of the weakest teams in the Mountain West. Let’s see if this team maintains focus or develops a pattern of inconsistency.

Why Air Force Will Cover Spread/Win

The range is huge, and with San Diego State having just returned from a tough road trip and a grueling game against a quality opponent, the Aztecs could be mentally flat in this contest. This could be the type of game that San Diego State is just trying to get through; makes sure he does enough to win, but doesn’t push particularly hard if he leads by 15 to 20 points midway through the second half to move the spread over the 22.5 number. San Diego State’s engine may not run at full speed for the full 40 minutes, which would allow AFA to cover.

Why San Diego State will cover the spread/win

San Diego State blew an 18-point home advantage over Utah State. It didn’t end that game well, but that fact shows you how good SDSU can be. If the Aztecs can build an 18-point lead over the top-ranked team in the Mountain West, they can beat Air Force by 35 or more. The range is actually a bit too low.
