San Diego State Aztecs vs. Fresno State Bulldogs Predictions
One thing that we would like to think about here with the college football schedule is that both of these teams did play similar teams for the first few weeks of the season, and we can get a good thought about what we’re going to get out of them with our San Diego State vs Fresno State betting.
Fresno State
When looking at what Fresno State has done well this season, it is certainly their offense. They have games where they can come out and score 30-plus points against any team in the entire country.
Although their defense has also been decent to start the season, it is tough to say that they have been good on that side of the football.
They’ve given up over 35 points in multiple games this year, and all those times have been against high-level opponents.
San Diego State
San Diego State is also a high-level opponent, so this one could get a tad interesting if they can’t get stops.
Three of their four losses this season are against some of the better teams in the entire country, as they have losses against:
- Oregon State
- USC
- Boise State
Although those teams are three of the best in the entire nation, Fresno State was still hopeful that they could win that game, and they’re going to have to bounce back and not focus on their recent losses and worry about the task at hand.
Impressive Football
San Diego State is going to be coming into this game playing some impressive football on the season, but similar to Fresno State, they still have things that they’re going to need to work on.
When looking at their stats throughout the year, they as well have losses against some of the better teams in the country.
San Diego State Losses
In their three losses this year, they lost to Arizona, Utah, and Boise State. Boise State typically runs the Mountain West Conference, and Arizona and Utah are typically two of the better teams in the nation.
They will be coming into this game after an impressive 23-7 win against the Nevada Wolfpack, where they were able to get everything they wanted on the defensive side of the football.
They only had 317 total yards on offense, but similar to what they’ve been doing all season, their defense stepped up when they needed it most.
If they want to win this game, they’re going to have to continue doing what they’ve done on the defensive side of the football.
Fresno State can come out and be impressive on defense, so expect San Diego State to do their thing on defense this weekend.
San Diego State vs. Fresno State Betting Pick and Prediction
We’re finally here with our San Diego State vs Fresno State betting, and the best bet in this game is going to be taking Fresno State – 8.5.

Fresno State has also found some success throughout the past few years, and it feels right to take them.
If they can come out and do what they’ve been able to do on both sides of the football this season, while improving offensively, this is a game where they can truly score 30-plus points and get stops at an elite level.
