The San Diego State Aztecs are set to visit CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, California for a Mountain West clash against the San Jose State Spartans.

QB Ryan Agnew had a big game through the air for the Aztecs as he threw for 209 yards and 2 TDs. RB Juwan Washington had a productive game for San Diego State as he ran for 84 yards and a TD while also pitching in a receiving TD.

Junior safety Dwayne Johnson Jr. led the way for the San Diego State defense with 8 tackles and 1 pass deflection. The secondary had a productive game for the Aztecs as Darren Hall pitched in 2 pass deflections while Luq Barcoo hauled in the lone interception of the game.

The San Jose State Spartans come into this matchup with a 3-3 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Nevada Wolf Pack, 41-38.

The San Diego State Aztecs have dominated the number against the San Jose State Spartans as of recent as they have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 meetings. The San Diego State Aztecs should once again be in contention for the Mountain West Championship as they have the 8th ranked defense in college football as they are holding opponents to an average of 13.2 PPG. The Aztecs will look to do the majority of their damage on the ground with Juwan Washington, but Ryan Agnew has shown the ability to air it out if need be. The Spartans are having a solid bounce-back year, but I don’t trust this team against an in-state rival. Final Score Prediction, San Diego State Aztecs win and cover ATS 30-13.
