Fresno at San Diego Betting Analysis
Fresno State Bulldogs Betting Analysis
Fresno State has earned back-to-back victories, but the underwhelming New Mexico Lobos made things far more difficult than anticipated on Monday. The Bulldogs entered the game listed as around ten-point favorites according to most sportsbooks. However, they narrowly escaped with a 71-68 home win over the Lobos.
Orlando Robinson led the scoring charge for the Bulldogs with 28 points. He also added ten rebounds to complete the double-double to go along with four assists.
Fresno State shot over 51 percent from the field and over 47 percent from beyond the arc. The Bulldogs played an impressive game overall, but New Mexico hung around until the end.
The Bulldogs have a much more difficult opponent on Thursday as they travel to San Diego. But they could make a huge statement with a victory over the talented Aztecs on the road.
San Diego State Aztecs Betting Analysis
SDSU covered a narrow 1.5 point spread in their road win against the Wyoming Cowboys on Monday.
Matt Bradley paced the Aztecs in scoring with 30 points to his credit. Trey Pulliam added 14 points in the SDSU victory.
The team shot a fairly mediocre 41.4 percent from the field. However, the Aztecs did their damage from beyond the arc, where they shot an outstanding 54.5 percent. Bradley led the three-point attack by hitting five of his nine attempts, while Adam Seiko sank three of his four long-range shots as well.
They were also able to win the rebound and turnover battles which provided them with an advantage throughout the game.
SDSU ended February with a 7-2 record during the month. Both of their losses came in the form of one-point heartbreaking defeats as well. This is a team that simply has been consistent against the spread as of late.

Fresno State at San Diego State Betting Preview
Both teams are playing well and feeling confident heading into Thursday’s game. However, this is an SDSU team that is very difficult to defeat on their home court.
I expect Fresno State to post a fight in the first half. They will likely keep the score close entering halftime. However, the Aztecs should be able to pull away and cover the spread in the end.
