College Basketball Betting Trends

San Diego State

The Aztecs are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as a road favorite. The favorite is 6-0-2 ATS in the last eight meetings.

UNLV

The Rebels are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. UNLV is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games as an underdog.

Prediction:

The Aztecs have not played the toughest schedule in the nation, but they have also beaten almost everyone convincingly and does have a solid early-season 76-71 road win at BYU on its resume along with an impressive 83-73 neutral court victory over Iowa in late November. San Diego State has barely skipped a beat in its road games and I wouldn't have been surprised if this spread wasnt a point or a point-and-a-half wider. I plan on taking advantage as now doesn't seem to be the time to fade the Aztecs.
