San Diego State vs. Fresno State

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Fresno State -3

The Fresno State Bulldogs (2-3) are certainly battle-tested after facing arguably the toughest schedule in the country through the first three weeks of the season. They had to travel to face both USC and Utah before falling to Nebraska at home. Obviously, they weren’t competitive in those games, but it has only helped them going forward as the schedule is much easier the rest of the way.

After beating up on Southern Utah 56-16, which only lost to Nevada 19-28 on the road, it came back with a dominant 35-24 win at New Mexico last week. It racked up 694 yards on Southern Utah before putting up 593 yards on the Lobos, outgaining them 593-382 for the game.

This offense has kicked into high gear behind the play of quarterback Brian Burrell, who is completing 58.2 percent of his passes for 902 yards with eight touchdowns and three picks. Marteze Walker has rushed for 457 yards and three scores, while Josh Harper has 30 receptions for 374 yards and two touchdowns.

San Diego State did not look good in a 7-28 road loss to Oregon State. Last week, it beat UNLV 34-17, but that game was much closer than the final score would indicate. It only outgained the Rebels 466-455 for the game. Also, that win came at a huge price as starting quarterback Quinn Kaehler suffered a shoulder injury and is expected to miss this game against Fresno. That’s a big loss because they were already without last year’s leading receiver in Ezell Ruffin, who had 1,136 receiving yards in 2013.

Home-field advantage has been huge in this series as the home team has won four of the last five with the lone exception being Fresno State’s 35-28 overtime win at SDSU last season. The Bulldogs are 8-0 ATS in their last eight vs. excellent rushing teams that average 4.75 or more yards per carry. Fresno State is 4-1 ATS in its last five conference games. Bet Fresno State Friday.

San Diego State vs. Fresno State

San Diego State

Edges - Aztecs: 5-1 ATS away off SU home win; and head coach Rocky Long 18-7 ATS away in games versus conference foes off a SU win. Bulldogs: 4-11-1 ATS at home versus avenging conference opponents.

With SDSU owning an overpowering rush advantage in this contest (+2.1 net YPR versus Fresno’s -1.1 net YPR), we’ll back the better team as the dog here tonight. We recommend a 1-unit play n San Diego State. Thank you and good lucks as always.
