Cal Poly
The Mustangs are 15-32-4 ATS in their last 52 games as an underdog. Cal Poly is 18-50-2 ATS in its last 70 Saturday games.

The Aztecs are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. San Diego State is 25-10 ATS in its last 35 home games.
Prediction:
The Aztecs played down to their competition the only time it faced a Division I opponent outside the top 300 in a narrow win over San Jose State, but I expect the focus to be here for this one considering they won’t want another poor performance against a team they should handle easily. The Mustangs were brutal against a mediocre Cal Bakersfield squad and the fact they have not scored more than 56 points in their last three games is concerning. I’m taking San Diego State in a rout.
