Utah State vs San Jose State Betting Prediction
Utah State comes into this contest towards the top of the Mountain West standings, but there are five teams within one game of each other. The Aggies have won five of their last six games and they are shooting 49.6% from the field. San Jose State is one of the worst teams in the Mountain West this season and they are allowing 74.7 points against per game on defense this year. The Spartans are also a very poor rebounding team and I don’t see how they will be able to keep this game competitive. Take Utah State on the road.
